Great quote about B*sh.

I loved this on Fark today:
The fallacy of Bush supporters, is two-fold. First, while Clinton and his security advisors certainly believed Saddam probably had WMDs, that was a BELIEF which is a little bit less than most people put the bar at for starting a unilateral war of aggression. All of the intelligence Bush used or cited was caveated to the extreme, or flimsy (e.g. one person anecdote), or contradicted by other agencies such as the IAEA and the State Department. Therefore, while Bush may have believed that this was the case, he had to have a little bit more than that to start a war legally. This is why Clinton never invaded Iraq, although he probably would have if he had solid enough information about Saddams alleged WMD stockpiles. This is why Bush's pulling on the weapons inspectors immediately prior to the start of the war, and before they could offer proof of his actual capabilities, stinks to high heaven of Bush KNOWING that the intelligence is flimsy and needing to go in before it was shown to the public that way.
All of the investigations into this intelligence supports the analysis that the majority of it was very fragile and caveated by the agencies, which is why it was not deemed as an acceptable basis for invasion by any other country, including our own, until Bush came into office with a predetermined plan to invade Iraq. If you don't think he came in on 1/20 with the idea to invade you are naive, go look at the PNAC proposal, and what Richard Clarke and others in the administration have publicly testified too, and now the Downing Street Memo is further documentation of this fact.
