Isn't it all the same as when Nixon sided with Pakistan (which at the time was butchering its people by the thousands), in the face of all state department evidence that India was not a communist threat. Nixon (and kissinger) saw India as red and there was no way anyone could convince them otherwise. Kissinger even went as far as to say once, as he was rejecting an intelligence study that was unable to find a red menace in India, that this sort of document is not what the president wants to see. He practically asked only to be given material that supported what the president already believed. At the time, Pakistan was Kissinger's secret channel to China, he didn't want to give that up, despite the regime's utterly corrupt and murderous ways.

Also the fake turkey in Baghdad photo op. Who supplied that turkey? Apparently a contractor????

Who else? Halliburton supplied the turkey. It only cost you, the taxpayer, about $129.00 per pound. <gg>

And for the Turkey-In-Chief? Priceless. Literally and figuratively.

Your ridiculous obsession with a prop turkey crystallizes in my mind who the real turkey is.

As to WMD'S, the jury is still out as to whether British and American intelligence were wrong.

If Hussein didn't have any, why didn't he offer complete access to inspectors? Why did he threaten, hamper, impede, and mislead the inspectors when they were there?

Seems pretty basic, doesn't it?
