We can now discuss forth and back who said what when - but what I wrote above was the direct justification for attacking Iraq - well knowing that Hussein was not part of Al Queida and without any proof for any WMDs.

So does that mean the Clinton knew it too? And Gore? And Reid, and Pelosi? They were all reading the same intel.
Or are you saying that Bush was somehow smarter than everybody else and knew better than Clinton and the rest? And he is such an evil genius that he was able to trick the entire U.S. Senate and Congress and President Clinton...all before he even took office?
What you're saying is nonsense.
You're getting off the track by being partisan in politics.
YES, Bush should be in jail for going into Iraq. So should Cheney. So should every member of Bush's cabinet that had anything to do with it (Rumsfeld, etc.)
And oh yeah...EVERY member of Congress and the Senate that voted for it and funded it.
Oops...you see THAT is why they will NEVER "grill" Bush.
Everything else you are arguing is irrelevant.
You're just talking in circles. They can't and won't ever prosecute anyone for those illegal wars. Because they ALL had a hand in it. And they ALL made money for their crony's back home in the military industrial complex.
Why do you think that when Pres. Obama took office and had a full Demcrat Senate control and full Democrat Congress control...he didn't do a damn thing?
Well, now you know in case you weren't paying attention (obviously) back in the 1990's and early 2000's.
Fortunately you can just watch that video and now you know.
