So why do you trust the Bush Administration? Because they didn't lie. Unlike you, I don't ascribe deliberate lying when something someone honestly believed turns out to be false If GW Bush was Pinochio, his nose would reach to Bagdad by now. buzzflash.com amazon.com

Don't confuse him/them with facts, Nadine. Why, for heaven's sake, would he have picked, as argument Number One, the presence of WMDs, if he KNEW that as soon as he went into Iraq, it would exposed as a falsehood and damage his credibility? There were many other arugments. Support for terrorism. Continuing flouting of UN resolutions. Failure of sanctions. Humanitarian arguments above all - starving the Iraqis to build palaces. Mass Graves. etc. So why would Bush deliberately lie, knowing it would come right back to bite him? It just doesn't add up. It makes no sense. The left is so unhinged that they cannot look as George Bush as a politician, which he plainly is. And they are unhinging the whole Democratic Party. And facts aside for a minute...it does strike me as pretty funny, in an odd perverse way....that they who believe Bush has no brain, could possibly even conceive of such a plan. The people who think like this have no shame at all. And no sense of Country, nor history.
