"He lied. There never was "no doubt" about his claim. And he
knew it perfectly well. He (or rather, his speech writer -- guess
who that was) chose these words carefully. He could have
said "little doubt" or "virtually no doubt" or a thousand other
phrases. But he (and they) chose to lie to support his inane
policy of "preventive" invasion. "

And so you conveniently avoided the direct question. Was it a lie when
Clinton, Kerry, Albright, Biden, Liberman and a whole long list of
Democrats said exactly the same thing? Was it a lie when British,
Russian, and Israeli intelligence came to the same conclusion? Or is
it just a lie when you want to divide a country, undermine our troups,
and encourage our enemies that seek to destroy us in a time of war?

And the fact remains, it was not up to the US or anyone else to play
guessing games and come to a 100% certain conclusion what Iraq was
doing. We know for a fact that they had WMDs.

Well, where are they? Simple question that no one, but no one has answered.
Bush doesn't even talk about it. If there were WMD there and they were
moved, then they are still a threat, the same threat as they were before.
Do we not care about this threat if they still exists? Should we not be
trying to find these dangerous weapons? Or were they destroyed by Saddam?
And if they were, and as the UN inspectors actually stated they saw none,
then the invasion was a total blunder. Now if Bush was a CEO and blundered
this badly he would have been thrown out long ago.

They used them on their
own people. They launched them at Israel and they used them against
Iran. The UN spent over a decade playing games and trying to destroy
or account for them all. It was up to Iraq to fully comply with
inspections, which they never did, right up till the end.

And of course, had President Bush done nothing, if a WMD was someday
used against the US, killing 1,000 people, jerks like you would be the
first to call for Bush's impeachment because it was all President
Bush's fault, because everyone (read that endless list of names) all
believed he had WMD's, yet Bush did nothing. Nice monday morning
quarterbacking job!

And if we now get hit by WMD that supposedly came from Iraq but were
supposedly moved and sold, and Bush did nothing about it, what would your
response be?
