the WMD thing was an issue seriously questioned by intelligence he was getting. Bush could have waited to verify but didn't

That's revisionism, plain and simple. There was conflicting intelligence, some questioning whether there really was concrete evidence. However, this was countered by other intelligence and by Hussein himself, who on numerous occasions refused to say that he DID NOT have WMD., even after 17 UN resolutions. At the time of the invasion France and others thought Iraq had chemical and nuclear weapons programs . Hussein had plenty of chances to stave off invasion, even after dozens of provocative incursions into no fly zones, and so on.

So how does this compare to the phony Gulf of Tonklin resolution? The leftist revisionists have used this phony re-reading of the events leading to Iraq to help elect a neo -Communist to the Presidency.. And then we have you, stating that Bush "lied'. You are a nitwit, nitwit.

Can't seem to just talk about this stuff in a reasonable way with some of you folks. I know this site has some crazy Palin people that go into a shark feeding frenzy when someone inadvertently steps into the tank. (And I'm for Palin.) Seems like we've got the same thing with certain Bush people. (I think Bush was a mixed bag.) I've seen others call (some) Bush supporters "Bush-bots", but certain people on this site love to pigeon-hole people and call them names - I don't know, makes 'em feel safer I guess.

Anyway, it's delightful but fairly rare when one can get into an interesting and stimulating debate without feeling like he's being attacked by a legion of elementary-school kids on a playground.
