I have no problem with investigating how the pre-war statements matched up with the actual intelligence (statements from the Bush & Clinton administrations as well as other Republicans and Democrats). No, that is not what bothers me.

What bothers me is how the Democrats can be so intellectually dishonest as to insinuate that somehow President Bush knew the intelligence was wrong when EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING. It's the same old "Let's call the President dumb as a monkey while simultaneously suggesting he is some sort of evil genius capable of orchestrating elaborate conspiracies and coverups" garbage they've been spewing since the day Bush first took office.

DON'T THEY EVER GET SICK OF IT? Because I'm seriously sick of hearing it. Why were our troops trudging about in chemical warfare gear? Why were their commanders so afraid of chemical weapon attacks? Because EVERYONE thought he had them. So can some liberal PLEASE just STRAIGHT UP IN PLAIN OLD ENGLISH tell me WHY is it Bush lied but everyone else just made a booboo? Because he's the President so therefore it's a lie when he's wrong? It's not just a mistake? When did President = omnipotent God-like figure? The President is a man and just like all men he IS capable of making mistakes. I'm not saying we shouldn't be upset at him for making this mistake but to suggest that it is anything other than a MISTAKE is wrong. And I'm pretty sure those of you spewing the nonsense even know on some level that you are the liars. Come on, if brilliant leaders like Clinton and Kerry were fooled by Saddam's purposeful attempts to appear as though he had WMD - then WHY is it so hard for you guys to believe that your beloved Chimpy-McBush could have been fooled by that very same intelligence?

I have never heard a liberal answer this question with a clear answer. It always devolves into some sort of diatribe about how Colin Powell was sent to persuade the UN with faulty evidence, or Bush had that line about Niger in the State of the Union or something else evil Bush has done but still does not explain...why did Bush LIE and Clinton/Kery "made a mistake?" I swear, getting a straight answer out of a liberal is like trying to pull a tooth from an angry alligator.
