In your mind, this is a "who cares?" issue in evaluating the President of the USA's ability? In his mind, bush can do no wrong. In fact he likes to refer to some of us as ABB, but fails to see himself as a ABaD (anyone but a democrat). Al

You ignore the fact that the Bush administration made the case for war with Iraq primarily based on the idea that Saddam had WMDs. Although plenty of others citizens, Senators and cuontries came to the same conclusion, the leading advocates of that view in the US was the Bush administration. This is absolutely not true. Everyone who knew ANYTHING about the situation were "advocates of that view". Your statement is a ridiculous attempt at rationalization of your position. And they were completely wrong, as we now know. Actually, they were completely wrong about "stockpiles". There is considerable evidence of the intent to quickly reconstitute weapons plans, and, as Fox News' excellent piece last night pointed out, the UN, France, Russia, and others were totally complicit in it -- including the sale of missle components and chemical weapons components. Doesn't that make you wonder about Bush's ability at all? I think Bush is a world hero for having removed Saddam.
