So, where are(were) those WMDs?

[eppie]

Lie, jest, or simple myopia, the premise of a resurgent set of WMD programs appear to have fooled a hell of a lot more than a few spooks at Langley.  Fooled me, based on the crap he kept pulling on the UN dudes.

I for one am not convinced that Pres Bush lied so much as believed something that was not as well supported by facts as he thought it was, and acted on it.  That the soundbyte campaign leaned so heavily on the WMD issue to drum up support for the war is something he is going to have to live with forever:  in some circles, his credibility cannot be restored, period.

Similarly, Secretary Powell lost quite a bit of street cred.  Not to mention any number of our Senators, and quite a few of our Allies' leaders.

OOh please don't start again. Apparantly the evidence was not strong enough that more than 50 % of the people did not believe it in the first place.

To tell to all those people (like me) that before the war were sure there were no WMDs (just because we believed the impartial and objective UN, and not the not so impartial Bush (or as you say Saddam), that it was all the foult of Saddam because he pretended to have WMDs (because he enjoyed having his country attacked or something) makes Bush a sore loser.
I hope that now that he is reelected he will finally speak the truth. Having different opinions on a (whatever) matter, followed by the proof you were wrong, and than start blaming it on other people is playground politics.
