Reply #10: I haven't heard anything like that.

I have heard some "everyone" or "every intelligence agency" thought he had WMD, but not specifically from her.

If there was a 25% chance he was developing WMD... even a 10% chance...perhaps even a remote chance... I think weapons inspectors should have been put in.

So there is the other side of the coin. If you *did not* vote for the IWR, you were taking a chance that this madman was developing them to use against us, and you were supporting sanctions that were killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children... that, of course, is tripe, too-- directed the other way.

I don't think anyone was really comfortable with the situation in Iraq, particularly post 9/11. The question, at the time, was what, if anything, to do about it. Some people had to actually take a stand where their stand would have profound consequences, and I think Hillary explained it well in her floor speech, at the time. So did John Kerry.

But, it doesn't fit on a bumpersticker so people let the crap fly because it takes you a long time to wipe it off.
