38. OTOH people have the right to expect that the President is not a Drug Dealer
or that he won't LIE about things, pressure the CIA to create bogus intelligence, hire an idiot like Doug Feith to just make shit up and call it intelligence, etc etc.

Sure those who voted for IWR have responsibility, but the main burden of this lies with Bush. And those who have recognized their error and are now trying to end the war. . .that's good.
