I still don't buy all the "lying to get us into a war" rhetoric though.
There is plenty of evidence that Congressional leaders in both parties
were convinced of a potential threat by Iraq, even before Bush.

Just curious, from what we were told then, do you think the potential
threat justified a war? In hindsight, this war? For me, a nuclear armed
Saddam would have been cause. But, I'm old school. War is the last
resort. Even now, it seems it was the first resort for Bush.


Not if you have the sort of political "base" Bush had.
