[bobbieinok]

that's being screamed/yelled 24/7 on RW talk radio

IMO, it's very interesting they think this is the only defense of W and Iraq invasion they have left

and is it not true that democrats DID NOT have the same intelligence info?!?!?!

Also, If you didn't see Hardball yesterday, this transcript
is well worth reading. Kerry laid it out and mentioned specifics of what Congress was told vs. actual info the admin had and failed to disclose.

Here's a snippet:

KERRY: Well, I’ll give you a number of examples: In the State of the Union message, the president of the United States used information about nuclear materials and Saddam Hussein trying to get them from Africa. Three times the White House had been told by the CIA, in writing and verbally, that is not accurate, don’t use that intelligence. They used it. They didn’t tell Congress it wasn’t accurate.

Likewise when they announced to people that they had the delivery ability for weapons, biological and chemical weapons, within — I think it was — 45 minutes, if I recall, but less than an hour. That was not shared by members of the intelligence community, and it was not shared with Congress that the intelligence community disagreed.

When they said that there were poisonous gas and bomb-making training given by Iraqis to al Qaeda, that was not accurate. It was discounted by the Defense Intelligence Agency. They never told us about the discount.

There were a whole series of occasions where they took evidence, took the best light of the evidence only, kept the worst or alternatives from Congress, and fed the American people with the imperative for war.
