Mike, when he connects UNRELATED dots, he is a war monger.
When he connects dots that his own intelligence people fabricate, he is a war monger.
I can go on and on. I think it pretty clear at this point that Between poor intelligence and an overwhelming desire by Bush jr to make up for Daddy's shortcomings, the US ended up in at least one war that didn't need to happen right then.
On the plus side, this war thing sure has made his oil patch buddies and Cheney's Haliburton cronies a ton of money. That by itself should be enough justification to get american boys and girls killed overseas.

Come on Alex.
Stop trying to change history.
EVERYONE - The UN, Germany, UK, France, Russian, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Eygpt ALL agreed Saddam had WMDs.. Infact, before the war I remember reading countless articles from the left all frantic about the weapons being used on our military, or Saudi Arabia /Israel in scuds.
Something had to be wrong. Was the entire world wrong?? I have read some theories that Saddam's people would fake WMDs development to appease him. Apparently Saddam was not a guy you brought bad news to in person. Another theory, and one that has satilitte documentation is that the WMDs were broken down and moved to Syria. ( of course the people who put out the sat photos are the same ones who have dropped the ball in the past)
It was universally accepted Saddam was working on WMDs, a keader can only act on information he has. Bush was not on the ground looking for these weapons, he has to rely upon information from experts, CIA, NSA, etc....
Don't get me wrong, I think the war was about power and stability in a region that is important to long term future of the US. Bush had a convienient excuse with the WMDs to justify the war. It is hard to sell war to Americans based on securing oil, and fighting terrorists.
Alex, Bush has made enough mistakes to vote him out of office, no need to re-write history.
