Strong words from someone who keeps extolling the importance of the fact that the rest of the world thought Hussein had WMD. I guess what they thought isn't important only if they disagreed with us.

And even if what was told was untrue, it does significantly bolster Bush's case for war.
When did you become so desperate to grasp at these straws? WMD and Al Qaeda are dead as justifications for war. All that's left is the covering action as the administration retreats, and the humanitarian/democracy rationale.

Or do you think that what we've learned since the war ended leads to the conclusion that war was justified to protect ourselves from WMD and to combat Al Qaeda (swamp-draining aside)? And I don't mean, did Bush act reasonably? I mean, if you knew then what you know now about WMD and Iraq's connections to Al Qaeda, would that have warranted war, other rationales aside?
