The other arguments were there in Bush's pre-war speeches but WMD was the lead argument both for him and most other pro-war types. It scared the daylights out of folks who otherwise would have been skeptical. This is the point!

Nope, WMD is and was important. The most important thing right now is for Bush haters to stop trying to gain political points and for us to find those WMD's. I don't know about you, but I don't want them to fall into the wrong hands.

You assume he coudl nopt have garnered support if he didn't use WMD as a reason ? The polls don't support that but if your free to revise histroy to support your view then by all means be my guest. Go for it.

The polls don't show it *now* that the deed has been done. Politicians know that people love to be on the winning side.

(I really like your pseudonym)

Rush's take was quite tongue-in-cheek, highlighting liberal naivete and opportunism that ultimately self-thwarts.

Regards.

Polls didn't show it then. Bush always had full confidence from congres and people to do whatever he wanted to end terrorism.
