[Captain Kirk]

Truth is not determined by polls. There was a time not so long ago when allegedly principled conservatives understood this and often criticized the "high poll rating" defense. No more.

The truth is that the UN and various nations were/are sure that there were active WMD programs in Iraq for 12 years between Gulf 1 and 2. The question was always what to do about it. For 12 years Saddam thumbed his nose at the world, and we thankfully elected a president that was determined to rid us and the world of this very real threat post 9/11.
