Ok now that Putin says it was right to defend ourselves, the war was justified?

Palease!!!

Palease yourself.

Bush's case for invading Iraq doesn't depend on anything Putin told him. The article simply says that Bush knew what Saddam and his boys were up to, therefore he made the right decision.

I'm quite sure he had enough warning from other sources to take out Saddam without ever hearing it from the Russky. But the point of the article is that it would help his case before the American people if they had known what he knew before he ordered the invasion.

If the leftist MSM had revealed the Putin warning Bush might not be quite so low in public opinion polls. Do you have to wonder why they didn't and still won't?

Man Bill Clinton knew what Saddam was up to. So did everybody else. The American people were told the threat Saddam posed through three presidents.

GWB happened to be the sitting in the oval office when 911 happened.

What pisses me off is that everybody who argued against a threat to the strategic interest of the US prior to 911 (and did absolutely nothing) somehow have amnesia as to the threat he posed. Reading the NYSlime or the pathetic excuse for what passes as the Lame stream media one gets the impression that good ole saddaam was a poor uncle that got a bum rap and was a simple strawman for Bush to go on a rampage. GWB made his case for war. Up to this day one can argue that no president in history (with the exception of Roosevelt) had the casus belli to take the country to war other than Roosevelt.

The reality of it all is that those who argue against the war are simply trying to deny the inevitable. Saddaam under any other president's watch (read democrat) would never have gone to war PERIOD! It is the 800 lbs gorilla that no one wants to talk about because it would confirm what the American people already know. National security cannot be entrusted to a party that is paralyzed by fear in taking their nation to war because the democratic party doesn't stand for nothing. If anything the democratic party under those that are running it now would like nothing more than to further weaken the US vis a vis it's enemies in order to satisfy an international elite hell bent on bringig the US to its's knees. Grandstanding for the pleasure of the NYSlime and it kindred spirits in the media is the only thing you will get from democrats.
