regerugged (below) Excellent observation about this post. Unlike Rush Limbaugh, Bill Clinton (Monica), and the Bush admin, I won't run and hide.

God knows we should all be used to the shameless hypocrisy of the left by now, but it's still just amazing to see how willing these people are to ignore facts.
In the first place, every democrat from Kerry to Kennedy to Byrd was warning the nation of the danger Saddam presented to the world, given his stock of WMD and his proven willingness to use them. This is just a fact. Can't be argued as the videos have been played over and over. Everyone believed he possessed WMD.
It is also a fact that he used the Oil for Food program to re-tool his weapons stocks and to purchase the things necessary to immediately resume his chemical, biological and nuclear warfare programs. This is also simply a fact. The items he purchased, who from and how they were smuggled into Iraq have all been revealed beginning with the Duelfer report.
And remnants of WMD have been found in Iraq over the past 4 years. So they had certainly been there.
But as the left wants to attack Bush, facts must be ignored. They just don't fit in with the leftist templates of "Bush lied" or "it's all about oil" or "Haliburton wanted the war". There's nothing more annoying than those damn, inconvenient facts that keep getting in the way of a really great story.

We know Saddam did have chemical warfare because he gasseds thousands of Kurds and those bodies were unearthed. The President and his advisors depended on intelligence gathered from other Middle Eastern countries as well as intelligence from European allies. And, of course, the USA has its own intelligence experts . Were they all wrong? Possibly. Did Saddam pull a fast one and have eveything removed? Possibly. Undoubtedly the truth is out there, and there is a lot of finger pointing, but only time will tell what really brought on this invasion and hellacious aftermath.

lmfao...rofl...wrong...yeah right
al qaeda is there as a presence.
richard butler, us head of the un investigation team said there were wmds and adequate time to move them
the kurds were being ethnicly cleansed by saddam at the time of invasion but given the "compassion" of you and the pelosi reid regime we wouldve known what wouldve happened to them had you wouldve got your way with unilateral surrender
what are the odds against a liberal extremist showing some common sense for a change?

Bush and Company (not Powell however) decided to invade Iraq first and then looked for justifications and assessments from ideologues with "theories" who had little understanding of Iraq or the Middle East (PNAC)-- and ignored any negative assessments from realists like Powell, his father, Scrowcroft, etc. and others.

You ask a leading question, like "Are you still beating your wife."
Mr. Bush did not make any incorrect assumptions. The US defeated the Iraq military and got rid of the baddies in government.
Your last question makes no sense. Plus, you cheated. You are supposed to ask one question and give up five points.

No. We all knew that Iraq had been disarmed according to the Gulf War cease fire. All WMD and WMD programs were verified destroyed per the cease fire agreement. That is recorded history, like it or not. We needed SOMETHING to go into Iraq. 9/11 gave us that cover. WMD and other conspiracy theories were just a little embellishment to propagandize our base.

I don't know but you ask a lot of questions, Chi Guy, how do you have any points left? But do you think Bush wants to be popular like his father and finish the job? Maybe he pushed the war for his popularity.

Some of the information he was given were not true but i do not think President is that evil. A mistake yes and a Big one.
He is not God like so many think he should be but just a man.
