This is precisely what is wrong with the Kerry/Leftist argument that Bush "misled" anyone. If he did, everyone from Clinton to Bob Graham to Tony Blair and even Chirac was complicit in it. Bush made the decision, and the responsibility for that decision rests with him. It's that simple. We don't know what intel everyone else saw, or how many hours they put into analysing that intel, and frankly it doesn't matter. The buck stops with the leader, and he lead the country to war on a faulty premise. Any other leader (CEO, whatever) would get fired for making the most important decision of his career based on what turned out to be an incorrect conclusion. With leadership comes responsibility. Just because others "might" have had a similar conclusion (a hypothetical case) is immaterial. The buck stops with George.
