That's one of the most absurd posts I've seen here. Nah - strike that - too tough to make judgements in this goofy neighborhood.

You basically are saying that Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice and so many other "advisors" have no voice. What idiotic extremist conspiracy theorists of both the left and the right forget is that all administrations have people from both ends of the political middle and that a consensus is usually reached, with those very upset (rare in fact) resigning in a quiet way.

Clinton, Gore, Lieberman, and Kerry would have invaded Iraq IMO. I would like to think that they may have handled some of the details a bit better or perhaps not rushed as much but I don't think so. Any President would have had a time frame, with the election as the terminus, such that the war had to start at the time. I'm not saying I like that. In fact, I don't. I'm just saying the political process is such that what I posted and that to which you object in my post is more a truism than my opinion of who is "right" or "wrong."
