Agree with much you said but this...
I know you have read all the quotes from Clinton, Gore, Kerry and many other Dems when they were in power and getting intel briefings then coming to the mics and saying the exact things Bush said.
I never thought Bush lied. Ever. Now the intell community is another matter.

Yes that was right before operation Desert Fox when Clinton bomb the hell out of those WMD sites he claimed they had:
quote:
By December 19, U.S. and British aircraft had struck 97 targets, and Secretary of Defense William Cohen claimed the operation was a success. Supported by Secretary Cohen, as well as United States Central Command commander General Anthony C. Zinni and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Henry H. Shelton, President Bill Clinton declared "victory" in Operation DESERT FOX. In total, the 70-hour campaign saw U.S. forces strike 85 percent of their targets, 75 percent of which were considered "highly effective" strikes. More than 600 sorties were flown by more than 300 combat and support aircraft, and 600 air dropped munitions were employed, including 90 air launched cruise missiles and 325 Tomahawk land attack missiles (TLAM). Operation DESERT FOX inflicted serious damage to Iraq's missile development program, although its effects on any WMD program were not clear. Nevertheless, Operation DESERT FOX was the largest strike against Iraq since the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf War, until the commencement of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM.
And back the Republicans called it all bullshite and Clinton's attempt to divert attention from Monica. Four years later, they took the same information, ignored the results of the bombing campaign and used it as justification to invade.
