dont get me wrong. i am not saying it was the wrong thing to do. i am saying that all arguments are strong and a decision had to be made that was almost arbitrary.

all thats left is to for everyone to continue to play politics and use the situation for their own political gain or that of their party. thats whats happening. i think that its a massive mistake to start the "where are the WMD's Mr Bush" rhetoric as a political strategy because it assumes several things

1) that most people were fooled by the administration - which is not true
2) that people are against the war - which is not true
3) that most people can be swayed in their opinions - which is not happening.

its something that i think will fail because its based on a simple premise that we are stupid, Bush is smart, Bush conned us... and for all that to be true... we have to forget about 12 years of reality, weapons inspectors reports, declarations to the UN and flat out genocide that shows otherwise.
