Pelosi, Clinton, Dascle, Kerry, Lieberman, Feinstein, Albright.
If all those Democrats said there were Weapons of Mass Destruction in 1998, would they be "mistaken" or would they have lied?

They may have been mistaken or lied. It's difficult to say. But, it isn't difficult to say that Bush and Cheney lied about WMD. I can prove that to you.

you mean like these hypoctrites
"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." - NANCY PELOSI 1998
If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow by the knowledge that they can act with impunity, even in the face of a clear message from the United Nations Security Council and clear evidence of a weapons of mass destruction program." - BILL CLINTON 1998
"We stopped the fighting [in 1991] on an agreement that Iraq would take steps to assure the world that it would not engage in further aggression and that it would destroy its weapons of mass destruction. It has refused to take those steps. That refusal constitutes a breach of the armistice which renders it void and justifies resumption of the armed conflict." - HARRY REID 2002
"There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein's regime is a serious danger, that he is a tyrant, and that his pursuit of lethal weapons of mass destruction cannot be tolerated. He must be disarmed." - EDWARD KENNEDY
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members... - HILLARY CLINTON 2002

Joe Lieberman, the new Independent, has stated all along that there were WMDs, which there were, and bee a supporter of the war all along. He does not belong listed with those traitors. He has somethings that they can't even conceive of, character and class.

The official liberal response is "they believed they were there because Bush said so, and Bush lied" even though the fact is that the dems had ALL of the intelligence that Bush had, even the dissenting intelligence.
The claim later that "I didn't read the whole thing" doesn't cut it in grammar school and doesn't cut it now.

Bush and Congress had the same exact information. But somehow the Liberals think it's logical to say that Bush lied and Pelosi was "mistaken."

It doesn't matter what was said or thought in 1998. What if they all said there were no WMD's in 1998 and you're hero George decided not to invade Iraq in 2003 because that? Circumstances can change a lot in 5 years.

They weren't being honest with themselves, and they succombed to the hysteria of the moment.
I blame them more than I do the Republicans...at least the Republicans had an agenda in Iraq. The Dems went along because they feared standing up to all the lies and half truths.
They are in a sense liars. That being said, the Bush Admin. are still by far the worst of the liars.

Bush lied, misled, jumped the gun, screwed up. So did Clinton.
Neither had an excuse. They both had the opportunity to be great and they both shot themselves in the foot.

Remember, even though they had the same information that President Bush had, he lied but they were mistaken. ;-)

You are going about it the wrong way. Loonberals deal with things with emotion, not actual fact.
