Oh I agree, there are a lot of people opposed to the war, but they have been since day one. The article said there was growing discontent with the war and my point is that the discontent is more with the way it's being waged than the fact it's being waged at all. WMD's were but one of several points made before the war.

I remember the myth there were no WMDs being pushed even as we located mobile weapons labs, as Zarqawi tried to launch a chemical attack on Jordan, as a ricin stash was found in Europe originally made in regime-backed and funded terror camps in Iraq, as pathogen samples in Iraqi scientist's fridges stored for future use, centrifuges being uncovered which had been intended to be prototypes to reestablish a nuclear program, a long range missile program much more advanced than originally thought, drones rigged to disperse chemicals or spores, ungodly quantities of "roach spray" [think VX] stashed in thousands of barrels in military bases, caches of chemical warfare delivery systems out the wazoo, finding out terrorist cells weren't just in northern Iraq but were also operating and training in the use of poisons in Baghdad, noting that Iraqi WMD scientists were being assassinated to keep them from talking, an attempt to use a filled binary chemical shell as an IED that naturally didn't work, and satellite photos of trucks leaving for Syria from al Tuwaitha, the terrorist base and WMD research center which turned out to have an underground city of additional labs UNSCOM never knew about, weapons facilities submerged to this day in groundwater, Iraqi scrap from their weapons programs being found in European scrapyards, the recent chemical weapons find just last year, etc...

But then, I'm not one to be distracted by meaningless Donald Trump / Rosie spats. ;-)
