Perhaps President Bush threatened to reveal some classified info, if the Demorats didn't shut up. More likely the Dems found the polls didn't support the approach they were taking.

Of course, all of this is irrelevant, as we didn't invade Iraq because we knew they had WMDs, we invaded because we didn't know if they had WMDs, and Iraq wouldn't cooperate with the UN inspectors to prove they didn't have them. A subtle point that the Demorats, and all of the foreigners who had a vested interest in keeping Hussein around, have tried to use against the Administration.

Well-said, and I think most people understand this (except for the Bush-haters).
