I think it was his daddy who told him that democracy might work in Islamic lands. W is a good guy (and so is his dad)...but they are misguided when they believe that democracy can civilize people who believe in a savage religion.
Iraq did have wmds, and did have the capacity to quickly make small quantities of them quickly. They did have the recipes and they did have access to ingredients, even if in small quantities.
But, how large a quantity does a jihadist need?
I remember the gog/magog incident with Bush, and I also remember the analysis concluding that it was a metaphorical usage on his part.
Like saying so and so has met his Waterloo.
No. Lest we all forget, it was the United Nations, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, John SKerry, and the rest of those F'n democrats who the MSM forgets to mention when it comes to "Bush's" war...........
When meeting with CIA head George Tenet before the war, Bush said looking at the evidence “is that all you got?” Tenet told him it was a “slam dunk” that Iraq had WMDs. All the major Dems thought Hussein still had them as well. Because they did have WMDs. They managed to move or destroy most of them before our troops got there. Some “degraded” wmds were even fired at our troops. Only fools believe Hussein didn’t have wmds. The question is: how did he get rid of them? But again, wmds was not the only reason we invaded Iraq. Hussein had repeatedly violated the agreements of 1991 and a lot more. If Bush had gone into Iraq just to try and establish democracy, I’d be for arresting and prosecuting him.
