Seems to me that your desire to denigrate the former President has blinded you to the actual facts of the campaign in Iraq in favor of the "common knowledge" version.

Prior to 9/11 there was no direct desire to invade Iraq. At that time we were still engaged in attempting to secure Saddam's co-operation with the terms of the cease fire of the 1991 conflict. Something he consistently refused to do.

One could make a case that your anger at losing the elections in 2000 and 2004 has colored your evaluation of the world scene since than.

LOL. Well, I see that when you can't justify your 'facts' you turn to personal attacks. And I don't get all my news from Fox News, with their partisan viewpoints.

And it has been proven (unless you are Dick Cheney, who believes what he wants to believe, and damn the facts) that Hussein and Al Quaida hated one another.

AND Bush wanted war with Iraq and, what is more important, CHENEY wanted war with Iraq.
