The classified data was much more cautious about the possibility of WMD. The administration chose to ignore that data.

You haven't made a sufficent argument to support that charge.

Yes, I have. The public data is what they allowed us to see. The public data does not include the data that was cautious about whether Iraq had WMD or not. They purposely ignored that data when they made the case for war to the American public.

Tim, do you think all the people complaining are partisan *ssholes? If so, then you are in for a rude awakening. This is serious stuff........starting a war on flimsy data.....manipulating that data to make your case better. It stinks and I don't want any part of a gov't that does that to its people. Its third world behavior!

Yes, but we supported Saddam in his fight with Iran right from 1980.

The support from the US in 1980 wasn't very signifigant compared the scale of the war as a whole.

What does that matter? G. Washington's lie was not that big but the tree was still down on the ground. The damage was done!

Why we think that we can support someone like Saddam

We supported Stalin in WWII. Sometimes you support an odious thug when he is fighting against other odious thugs.

I'm sorry...in my book, two wrongs do not make a right. Look at how our support of Stalin kicked us in the face after WW II.
