To me it is not important who said what about WMDs. It is not important thought or even may have thought that Iraq was dangerous. I look at how the President went about determining the truth. Kay may say anything he wants to. You or I may say anything we want to. But when all is said and done, it is the President's responsibility to lead everybody to doing something right. Hans Blix and his team (including Mr. Kay) were in there. Certainly, they wouldn't have been in there if they did not "suspect" Iraq. THey could not find any WMDs. They even went to sites that the US intelligence told them to go to. Hans Blix said that many a times they were at the site within 2 hours of receiving intelligence from the US. When Bush saw that every US intelligence date provided to the Blix team, did not produce any WMDs, that should have been his clue that the intelligence was faulty. This happened not once, not twice but over and over again. This is where he failed to make a conclusion for which we would generally expect a good leader to make. He was pre-disposed to attacking Iraq. A good President takes responsibility for his actions. Bush does not take that responsibility. And that is disturbing to know that he wants a second term to be President but does not want to take any responsibility.
