[fill in the blank....] believed in WMDs. You want posts? He believed that the Iraqi people would welcome us. He believed that Iraq's oil would pay for the war. He believed that the war would remake the Middle East. He believed that our troop level would be down to 30,000 by late 2003. He believed that killing Saddam's sons would decrease the guerilla war. He believed that finding Saddam would cause the insurrection to die down. He believed that the Shiites wouldn't rise up against us. He believed that Syria and Iran would be so cowed that they wouldn't allow their citizens to cross the border and hunt our troops down. He believed that France and Germany and all the other countries that begged Bush not to start this madness would end up begging for scraps of Iraqi reconstruction contracts that now go uncompleted due to violence. He believed that the US would convince the UNSC to vote for a war. He believed that Turkey would let our troops invade Iraq from Turkish soil. He believed that Iraqi soldiers would surrender en mass and turn in their weapons. He believed that we would improve the economy in Iraq. He believed that Iraqis would luv the US more than France or Russia. He believed that Chalabi would be welcomed with open arms by the Iraqis. (Note that one of Saddam's old generals is now parading around Falloujah, wearing his old uniform, waving the old Iraqi flag, and is being treated as a hero.) He believed that the gas generator was a mobile biological weapons factory. He believed that Saddam was killed in any of several American air strikes.

The list goes on.



A pretty good list.
