Lindy Bill for President, then. Even he, couldnt get it up--his current defense of policy and performance is far from robust. 30 years from now, there will be a small couterie of folks still claiming how the democrats and the MSM lost the war.

Steve -- your list is now what most Americans understand to be true -- Democrats, Republicans, swing voters, pretty much everybody. It took a while. But then America had to arrive at the truth via a painful process and amidst a concerted propaganda campaign -- perhaps you live someplace where news travels very slowly and the truth is almost impossible to accept. I understand that there were a handful of Japanese hiding in hills in remote locations ten years after WWII -- and they went on believing. Perhaps that is what you will be doing for the next ten years.

WRT the WMD thing- Even the administration has, at this point, given up claiming there were WMD. Strange that some people just can't let it go. "State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said though the search for WMD yielded no results, the United States, based on "extensive intelligence," believed before it invaded Iraq that Saddam was intent on acquiring them." cnn.com I understand that some people actually believe the items in the link you posted, but it's an ever smaller group, and not even the administration would embrace the details there. It might be better to say that much of this "dem" info is generated by reality, rather than any attempt to subvert it. The mistakes, wrt interpreting reality, have been made, and they were made primarily by the Bush admin- which now constantly has to say "But we thought...", " But everyone believed..." (the second statement is yet another subversion since not everyone believed the garbage info the admin was peddling.)
