FDR also committed a massive, long term deception and outright fraud in getting re-elected on an explicit anti-war platform while, often in the next breath, he was planning extensively with Churchill and practically everyone else on getting the US into the war.

It is truly striking how academia has given him a pass on this, while they excoriate Bush lacky's for what was clearly a legitimate miscalculation and systemic intelligence weakness on WMD's.

The same people, not Stein of course, who demand perfection from the CIA, gutted its abilities. The same people who demanded more troops allowed us to cut ten divisions from the army in the Clinton years. Being a Liberal means being able to have it both ways as a critic and never having to be accountable.

IMO, there was NO miscalculation with regard to WMD.

They used them, they had them, and were prepared to threaten the world with them again.

They didn't count on Bush not being slick willie.
