I supported this war when the subject first came up in 2002, and I supported it throughout its execution in 2003.

Unlike me -- a bona fide conservative who thought this invasion was a mistake from the first, and I wasn't afraid to say so (at the risk of being vilified by freepers).

No, he supported it until two things became clear to him: 1) there never was any WMD threat that was serious enough to warrant a U.S. invasion; and 2) the administration's efforts in waging the war revealed an utter lack of competence in preparing for the occupation of Iraq.

In fact, now that I think about Point #2 . . . I believe he made this comment somewhere around the first anniversary of President Bush's idiotic performance on the deck of the aircraft carrier.

Actually, many supported it because they trusted the President's administration that Iraq was a major threat. They opposed nation building while supporting self defense, and even pre-emption.

Now the facts are still being gathered, and so far, it doesn't look good.

I think Bush acted in good faith. But he is open to being held accountable.
