No, not much different, except that Bush ordered men under his control
into combat so that his father's and his Vice President's companies
could roll up tremendous profits. And he deliberately mis stated his
reasons and the backing intel for it.

Did Lt Kerry make a dime off his Viet Nam service?

Yeah, they're pretty much the same all right.

Plus another minor difference. Intel should almost always be taken with
a grain of salt, and one shouldn't dismiss the intel one dislikes and
pay attention only to the intel that fits one's agenda. In this case,
the Bush-ites found intel that fit their plans, ignored the intel that
indicated other possibilities, and started a war. For pure political
reasons.
