Now, if you believe Bush was a conman as a result, then you also believe that Tony Blair, the Clintons, Al Gore, John Kerry, and John Howard were all cons too. I'm curious. How do you think all this happened? Why did so many of the world's intelligence services, world leaders and leading politicians come to believe that Saddam had "weapons of mass destruction"?
What is it you think? That Bush somehow convinced Clinton in 1998 that Iraq had WMD programs? Not to say that I blame any of those people either. In fact, no one is to blame but Saddam himself.
Maybe you should research some more. Get back to me on that.

Funny, I don't remember Gore, the Clintons, Kerry, or John Howard exploiting 9/11 to scare the people into believing lies about Iraq, and then invading them based on these lies. For someone who went to Yale you seem to have a hard time understanding the difference between not being sure what WMD Saddam may have and wanting to find out, and what Bush did, which is TELL US what WMD Saddam had, TELL US he was connected to Bin Laden, TELL US he was a threat to the USA, and then launch a first strike invasion in a poorly organized way, torturing pig farmers by the thousand along the way. Bush is always very sure of himself until the truth comes out.
Maybe I fell asleep for a while and missed Clinton make up shit on the spot about a 911/Hussein connection, but I doubt it.
