Those of us on the right who opposed the war in Iraq warned from the get-go that the proponents of the invasion were not being forthright. There were a variety of agendas at work which did not see the light of day, and the stated reasons for the invasion were mere pretexts. The problem with this type of leadership is that it, if exposed, reveals a duplicity which most people find repellent.

I don't buy this for one minute.
I find Blair and Bush to be extremely trustworthy leaders and those who have been making these sorts of accusations against them to be dishonest and duplicitous from the beginning.

They have tried everything to create suspicion about the motives behind the war on Iraq and now are exploiting the difficulty in finding WMDs for that purpose.

Never mind that virtually all those on the UN Security council agreed that Saddam had WMDs, that defectors from Iraq have confirmed he had WMDs and that we have already found mobile bio-weapons labs...exactly as those described by Powell.

I believe we will find the WMDs or find out what happened to them...once again embarrassing those who are so quick to judge and falsely accuse Bush and Blair.

"I find Bush and Blair to be extremely trustworthy leaders.."

I am currently giving Bush the benefit of the doubt. I voted for him, after all. I am assuming that his information was manipulated by various courtiers in the halls of power around him who gave him slanted intelligence in order to achieve their own objectives.

Either way, the WMD argument was bogus. We were led to believe that the country was awash in chemical and biological weapons that could be used in a heartbeat....tons of anathrax, warehouses full of chemical warheads, thousands of gallons of various viruses and toxins. Where are they? A program which is that advanced and extensive can't be hidden THAT easily....we've had 6 weeks to comb the country and have had several weeks to interrogate a bunch of high level operatives in the Iraqi govt.
