Reply #92: Nonsense

Just about everybody, including the Clinton Administration, including Hans Blix, including every foreign intelligence service of significance, believed that Saddam Hussein had WMD. The question was whether there was any solid proof of this, and whether Saddam posed a threat.

Bush provided "evidence" to Congress to suggest that there was solid proof. He provided to evidence to suggest that Saddam posed a threat.

With that in mind, Congress voted to authorize the threat of force.

Knowing what they knew then, not only did that make sense, it would have been irresponsible not to authorize the threat of force.

That the evidence submitted was complete bullshit is now what needs to be addressed. The Bush Administration frankly lied to Congress - and that's where your anger should be targeted.
