I wish my fellow Freepers and conservatives would wakeup and realize that this administration has a real serious problem when it comes to the WMD question

This administration used the WMD threat as the PRIMARY reason for going into Iraq. I believed them about the WMD and think, even though WMD has not been found, that over throwing Saddam was the right thing to do. But,George Bush has a serious credibility problem at this point and because they have not gotten out front on the whole WMD question, GWB is in serious trouble.

This administration lets a POS like Kennedy constantly run his mouth and there is no response. You can't go on and on about "this is the same intelligence that everyone else had" when nearly 600 of our best and bravest are dead.

I pray for and will work my tail off to get GWB reelected but as of today, it's alQerry's to lose, IMHO.

The Iraqi Commanders in the field all thought that the Commanders on their right and left flanks had WMD.

Saddam Hussein was sure he had WMD.

So was every analyst and every government in the world.

How could any American President know any different?

The question is not a political one, it is a practical one. To wit, where are the stockpiles of nerve agent, mustard gas and bio crap?

THat is the question that nobdy has anwered yet and should give us pause, not the "Bush lied" BS.

They died making America safer. The Iraq invasion and liberation is and was an important move in the war to destroy the forces causing Islamic terrorism, regardless of WMD.

For sure there is a credibility problem for the administration and the US because of what happened regarding WMD. That credibility problem is easy to exaggerate and is dissipating.

The Administration believed the WMD existed. They may have been correct. It was a real reason, and the most logical and politically convenient justification. It is a political fact that a war of that nature must be sold. If WMDs did not exist, and the Administration knew it, then a different, probably more difficult justification would have had to be used. Iraq was dangerous and a haven for terrorists. Saddam was raping and torturing his people, and could be counted on to cause greater evil in that part of the world where change is needed.

If Mel Gibson doesn't agree with me on this, I don't care. The Passion of The Christ remains a great, powerful movie. Friends are not friends on every issue. For example, we will find ourselves not liking much of what Tony Blair does, outside of the war on terror/Islamofascism.
