I don't know what Russert said, but I saw a few minutes of his show Sunday morning. He had Ted Kennedy on, and was playing quotes from 2002 of Ted Kennedy, Hillary, etc. saying why we needed to attack Saddam & asking Teddy why the Dems were now changing their tune.
I was surprised & impressed that he was pointing out that the Dems had been all for attacking Iraq & also fully convinced that Iraq had WMD at that time.
Russert was merely covering his tracks. He's become a Democrat functionary, plain and simple.
