One could argue that America should never elect a president who could so easily become suckered, as noted below. But, on the other hand, Bush wanted this war as badly as did the Iraqi defector who tried to suck him into it. Sadly, as the Iraqi defector suckered a willing President Bush into war, President Bush suckered an unwilling American citizenry into war.

>>> Based largely on his account, President Bush and his aides repeatedly warned of the shadowy germ trucks, dubbed "Winnebagos of Death" or "Hell on Wheels" in news accounts, and they became a crucial part of the White House case for war — including Secretary of State Colin L. Powell's dramatic presentation to the U.N. Security Council just weeks before the war.

Only later, U.S. officials said, did the CIA learn that the defector was the brother of one of Chalabi's top aides, and begin to suspect that he might have been coached to provide false information. Partly because of that, some U.S. intelligence officials and congressional investigators fear that the CIA may have inadvertently conjured up and then chased a phantom weapons system.<<<
