I guess the dozen or so UN resolutions and endless weapons 'inspections' don't count for diplomacy.

double up



Who said no diplomatic efforts were made? Bush's critics are saying that diplomatic efforts were made, but they were just a cynical cover for Bush's true (now clearly revealed) intentions.

And you must have known that I would never let you get away without addressing the real issue of this thread: the British memo shows that Bush knew the justifications were too thin to support a war against Iraq, so he intentionally manipulated the intelligence to provide the appearance of grounds for war. Is this grounds for impeachment?
