WMDs are not Bush’s “I didn’t have sex with that woman.”

Bush isn’t the only person who thought they had them. Our idiot stick Democrats in Congress and the Senate also thought they had them. The European leaders thought they had them. The U.N. Chief inspector made comments that he thought they probably had them.

I’m not a big fan of Bush, but good grief, you folks should remember this.

Please read my comments here.

RE :”Once you commit to an operation like this, you can’t just cut and run because your original premise, shared by most people, was not correct. You have to leave something behind that is reasonably believed not to be a threat to the world. (your link to your prior comment) ”

This part is certainly true. Cutting and running would be a disaster and even Obama has run into that fact of life now that he is president. But what Bush supporters have asserted is that once a Republican president uses a hugely flawed premise to gain public support (by literally terrifying the voters) for an huge long costly invasion reconstruction we cannot judge him later(they have no such rule for democrats naturally). Few Americans were willing to buy that "Heads I win tails you lose" assertion.

WMDs became commonly known as Bush's "I did not have sex with that woman". It's a fact. America is now isolationist.
