Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

edit: What about upholding our system of "checks & balances"? Bush needed Congressional approval for war. Obviously, the legal requirement was to provide info that he believe to be truthful and accurate, free of material omissions and false and/or misleading statements, etc. But what about the responsibility to verify the truthfulness or veracity of info provided? Isn't there some standard in that regard?

The next excuse is that WMD were in Iraq but were moved or destroyed before the bombing. But how would that have been possible with UN weapons inspectors through out Iraq & tens of thousands of troops on Iraqs boarders??... Saddam was hated by all of his neighbors.
