"going to war on false pretenses is also very serious. iraq a better place now?"

False pretenses? Whatever prestense there was, was accumulated and dissected long before Bush even became president. I was just reading a report from the so-called independent Carnegie Peace Institute (you know...the one that says Bush exaggerated the threat) that was quoting (endorsing?) a story from the NY Times just days after Bush's inauguration. Within this story, the NY Times and Clinton's Secretary of Defense is warning the new administration of Saddam's reconstituted weapons program.

When you look at the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 (signed and sponsored by Clinton and the Dems), UNSCOM's numerous analysis' and even the media's reporting from as early as the mid-90's, it is obvious that these "pretenses" existed long before Bush took office. I have no problem with the assumption that some of the intelligence may have been wrong...but to assign treachery and deception to Bush is the biggest hoax perpetrated on the American people in a long time. You sir, are part of that hoax.
