1. It wasn't THE issue. Go back and read the President's speeches, including the one at the UN last September. The WMD issue was the one most endangering the US, followed closely by harboring terrorists.

Really? I suggest you read the SOTU from this year. He makes it quite clear it is the issue. He doesn't say a coalition will attack Iraq unless they turn to a democracy, he doesn't say the coalition will attack Iraq over human rights violations, however he does say unless Iraq disarms the coalition would attack Iraq.

2. The Washington Post has covered this story and has indicated that Vanity Fair twisted Wolfowitz's words and added their own interpretation.

Like the boys over at New American Century (of which our current foreign policy is based considering half the administration was part of it back in the 90s) have never done any twisting of words. Remember, they're politicians, just like the Democrats.

3. I realize that those who are looking for anything to bash Bush are desperate, but in this case, since there is solid evidence of Wolfowitz being misquoted, you are just going to have to admit you were wrong.

No what I see is someone who is trying to change their story because the main line that has been yelled from the top of every mountain for the last 8 months is turning out to be no more than wishful thinking

You are absolutely determined to believe a lie, aren't you?

Why would you ignore the speech to the UN? Answer: Because it disproves your claim that this was the only reason we went to war.

Why would you disbelieve the transcript from the DoD, the Washington Post AND Vanity Fairs reporter himself, who is already "clarifying" and backtracking? Answer: Because you are desperate to believe that this is your ONE ISSUE which will prove Bush is bad.

We have found all sorts of items...mobile biological labs, mustard gas in old warheads, barrels of nuclear material, poson in the Euphrates, etc. etc.

Apparently, you have some sort of vision in your mind of the Acme WMD plant with barrels stacked up labeled with a skull and crossbones and big "DANGER" signs. Sorry, that isn't how they were stored, and that isn't how they will be found.
