Except you're lying. Everyone agreed Iraq was a serious threat that needed to be dealt with. The UN inspectors had been out of Iraq for several years. Bush masterfully used the credible use of force to force Saddam to allow the inspectors in. At that point there was a split. Most sensible people wanted to let the inspectors do their work. But even though the inspectors were finding nothing, Bush invaded anyway, with very little support from around the world, and serious doubts here at home. Bush lied, and he fukked up. He originally said Saddam could prevent the invasion by disarming. The inspectors were finding nothing. Bush changed the criteria (Saddam now had to leave Iraq) and invaded anyway. It's on Bush. Smarter people knew better. SD
