I’m highly critical of Bush. He deserves it.
Yes, the left probably does think his WMD statements were his “I did not have sex with that woman” moment, but I’m not buying into that.
Bush wasn’t the only world leader or U.S. politician who thought there were WMDs in Iran. He wasn’t hiding something from the public. He didn’t do anything wrong.
Clinton lied pure and simple. Bush didn’t, pure and simple.
Clinton lied to cover up his act. Bush told the truth because he viewed Hussein to be a threat.
I’m just not buying the idea that Bush is comparable to Clinton on these two matters. I don’t believe you think that either.
Most Americans believe this, not just the left. If it was just "the left" then 2006 would not have been a disaster for republicans(2008 brought additional problems) . The economy hadnt crashed yet. Democrats were polled for the last few years as more trustworthy than Republicans on National Security. This was not just "The Left". This “The Left” Bush defense leads to election slaughter.
