The funny thing is, the Bush ADMIN knew all about this crap before the Security Council voted. This is why they began an action plan against Iraq shortly after 9-11.

If anyone is getting the last laugh, it will be the Bush Admin because they have been right all along. Let's hope that the year spent trying to convince everyone won't prove to be a serious mistake.

NONE OF THIS SHOULD COME AS A SURPRISE TO ANY OF US.

I don't think it's been a year of trying to convince everyone. I think it's been a year and a half of preparations. If the public had all of this info right after 9/11, the pressure to go to war unprepared would have been great. When it became known that we weren't ready, the effort would have struggled and fizzled in inactivity. President Bush has been masterful in controlling the debate and agenda and choosing his targets. First, Al Qaeda, now Iraq. The next stop will be linked when we're ready to press the offensive.
