Hard to say, Jim. So what about those quotes from Clinton, Kerry,
Pelosi, and all those folks? Need the link again?

Haven't you heard Dave - Bush won!

Yes, I know. But Jim keeps not replying about those quotes, which
counter his assertion that Iraqi WMDs were only a GOP talking point.

This is what his hand has wrought, and please keep in mind that Iran is
on
the State Departments State Sponsored Terrorist list:

Maybe you should read those quotes too. If you find one that's not
true, please let me know. Looks like the guy who compiled it did his
homework.


Dave,
He did and from what I know they are all the result of Hussein throwing out
the UN inspection team. What everybody at the time, on both sides of the
fence, was saying was that SH ought not think that the US would stand by and
idly watch him get back into the WMD business in a way that would threaten
the US or it's interests in the region. That message was received and
Hussein never did.
None of those statements are related to the Bush administrations rationales
for invasion. Zero. They are, in fact, taken out of context and are being
used to obscure the now proven fact that the pretext for invasion was
completely false and couldn't be supported from the current set of facts or
intelligence information.
Bush and Co. concluded in 1992 that Saddam would end up posing a threat and
that it was a mistake not to have taken him out in GW I. They didn't think
it through in 2003 because they had made up their mind years back. The
conditions that existed at that time were no linger operant. That is why his
neighbors, and many others of our allies, didn't join in. They wondered what
the heck we were thinking and the answer clearly is that we weren't.
The thinking part had stopped years ago. Bush was just cleaning up what he
saw as daddy's mess.
