Yes elevated. I think it is plain to see that there is a huge gap between the weapons that were claimed to exist and what is now being found. If you can't see this there is no hope for you dittohead.

Our policy with Iraq has been screwed up ever since GHB decided to stop the war and make another agreement with Saddam. Really it's been screwed up way before that, but that is another story.

But since Bush senior pulled the plug on the first war, Saddam was ever emboldened. Those killing fields you keep harping about? Most of those were planted right after the Gulf War.

And now 12 years later, we still have a Saddam problem. The sanctions were a joke, you know that. The type of program I could have supported this time around in Iraq would have been a combination of holding the military hammer while gathering a coalition. Putting pressure on Saddam and the allies.

Bush junior did things that he shouldn't have done. Acting unilaterally. Talking up the intelligence on WMD. shattering the once cohesive UN security council.

Bush's policy has failed. Our credibility in the world has lost currency. It's a sad time in the history of our country indeed.
