"We're working on different fact sets"

I doubt it. You just are spinning the facts to back your preconceptions.

"so there is always SOME doubt."

Sure. But, from released documents, the most doubt was the presence of WMD, not their lack.

"They made serious mistakes in focusing on WMD to justify it, but that in no way diminishes the importance of the accomplishment of creating a democracy in Iraq."

In other words, the ends justifies the means. Cherry-picking intelligence to suit an agenda is ok as long as the results, or at least the intentions, are good.

"Now, whether Obama can hang onto it is an entirely different matter. He "inherited" a civil ware only prevented by our payoffs and troops and I'm not sure he isn't allowing it to slip away. Hopefully not."

FIXED!
