3. "We went to war because Iraq had WMD plans"
Is there a country in the whole world, except North and South Pole, that doesn't?

We are also being told that the sixteen words in the SOTU were "technically correct", because Britain did believe Iraq tried to buy yellow cake form Africa. But the CIA knew that was false. What was "true" was the British believed it. Therefore Bush told the "truth". From the folks who brought you the impeachment of a Democratic president for "lying". I think the American people are owed an apology. Come back Bill Clinton, all is forgiven!

4. One of the problems with starting an unnecessary war is....
from "The Angry Liberal" at buzzflash.com:
http://www.buzzflash.com/theangryliberal/03/07/14.html

One of the problems with starting an unnecessary war is that it may well interfere with a necessary war. Listen closely. That distant humming sound you hear emanates from a nuclear reprocessing plant in North Korea. Whereas the case for war with Iraq was a monumental sham, the case for some sort of intervention in North Korea is undisputed. North Korea admits to having an illegal nuclear weapons program. It publicly threatens the United States on a regular basis. It is considered an enormous threat by its neighbors. Intervention is an absolute necessity here. While the preferred tactic in this case is non-military, the threat of the use of force is a very useful tool. Thanks to George W. Bush's massive waste of military power and tax dollars in Iraq, the North Koreans know they have little to fear from the United States. So North Korea's nuclear weapons program continues while Bush hits the campaign trail and pretends that he has the threats to America contained. And hit the campaign trail, he must. While a successful president could beat a challenger with very little money, it's going to take every penny of the his expected $200 million war chest to convince America that Bush's presidency has been something other than a total failure.

5. They had good intelligence
They chose to ignore it and make up their own.
