>> And I only made one...that is, that Bush knew and the world knew that Blix had found no WMD and Bush invaded anyway...

Well the whole f*cking world knew that Blix didn't find the WMD, but everyone -- including the Ds, believed they had them. So it totally shoots a hole in your argument that Bush's invasion was somehow nefarious. Bush was acting on the same information everyone else had, and the liberals were largely in agreement. Which is precisely what I said.

You are trying, as usual, to run away from your statements.

>> Bush was fully informed of the Blix reports, but Blix asked for two more weeks to inspect the few remaining sites....Bush refused and invaded....

Of course, and Bush did precisely what he should have given the circumstances. In his book Blix clearly points out Saddam was behaving in a manner that would lead ANYONE to believe that he had WMD.

It would have been grossly incompetent for Bush to have put off the invasion YET AGAIN. You can't have your entire military put on hold because Saddam wants to play "cat and mouse" (Blix's words) with you. And this is precisely what Saddam had done with Clinton for 8 long years.

Again, as I pointed out, the Blix argument isn't even material to the discussion, but you brought it up. Clearly, you have not the slightest idea what Blix's position was on it.

>> And don't lie about reading his book....

I don't lie and I didn't. Had you read his book, you would have known all of the things I pointed out to you.
