The first day I saw "conservatives" using Bill Clinton, the U.N., Hans Blix, etc. as credible reinforcement of the Bush administration's rationale for the war, I knew the whole thing was a fraud.

1) WMD is only one part of the war - a portion brought to significance for Tony Blair and then jumped on by the Dems and naysayers.
2) I don't use it as credible reinforcement at all. I just wish the critics would apply the same standards to everyone as they do to the Bush Administration.

I just wish the critics would apply the same standards to everyone as they do to the Bush Administration.

I do. It is the Democratic critics who don't.

If Bill Clinton were the president today, and events in Iraq unfolded over the last year exactly as they have, I would venture to guess that 99% of the people on this site would be calling for his resignation -- and rightfully so.

In fact, this is my basic complaint about how this administration has performed on this specific issue -- they've done things the way I would have expected the Clinton administration to do them.
