I don't think he did either- but to not at least ask questions is just naive and too trusting. Bush- is- after all- just another politician when it comes to the end of the day. One of the things that I always believed during the many many discussions on this board about the many many Clinton crimes and scandals was that if the situation were reversed and Clinton was a Republican- Freepers would still tear into his hide. Carter was a very bad President because he was a liberal ninny- but he wasn't a sociopathic criminal like Clinton. I didn't hate Clinton (and yes I am a "Clinton Hater") because of his politics as stupid and wrong as they were- but because the man was a corruption on the entire body politic of this nation.

Bush is not Clinton by any stretch of the imagination but I won't be a hypocrite and not poke and prod and seek honest answers to good faith questions just because he shares my party label. The GOP sheds it's dead weight - we don't rally around and protect liars and men of dishonor (how many Republicans did we get rid of during the Clinton years out of principle?) The Democrats rally around their thieves, liars, and criminals and protect them to the last no matter what dishonest argument they have to make in such defenses. In the long run the GOP is stronger because we police ourselves and enforce simple decent codes of conduct. I am not saying Bush is guilty of anything (there is zero chance of impeachment)- I am just saying we are better than the dems and we should always question even our own leaders.

Truer words were never spoken.

Some would but a whole lot wouldn't. At least that's what I think.

A person could look at it like this. The fact that they haven't found WMD's (at least yet) is more evidence that the administration really thought the WMD's were there. I mean if they knew it was a lie (not saying it was)... then they would have planted some stuff to make sure they didn't get caught and into this mess.
