Sure, they painted Saddam as a bad guy, but it's not like he wasn't. But that doesn't mean that Bush lied us into the war, nor that Trump was right to say what he said the other night.
What you are forgetting is that every single intelligence agency in the world that thought Saddam had those weapons, heck he used them on Iran and the Kurds. What you are forgetting is the intelligence W based it all on was developed by the CIA and cited by Clinton in the late nineties as a reason to go to war with Iraq.
I'm sorry, I'm not going the way of the Cruzers, Trump was more than wrong to say what he said. He should have held a line in a much better place, and now he just made himself look a bit looney.
Just my opinion, but this one thing he said is neither true, nor right.
Pat also thought he played fast and loose with the facts. That, too, is in that article. It was not a unique perspective.
