>>>but had all the world intelligence organizations, all the world leaders, including all the democratic leaders, including all the leaders of the Clinton administration been correct, then the alternative to a preemptive attack would be to wait until after we suffered a possibly horrendous attack upon ourselves.<<<


This excuse is getting incredibly tiresome. "Everybody else thought he had the weapons so why pick on Bush"? Because.........everybody BUT Bush also had doubts with respect to the actual threat. Strong enough doubts where they could not bring themselves to support a preemptive invasion.

It's ridiculous to use the "everybody else" excuse when everybody else was trying to tell Bush his paranoia was misguided and everybody else were exactly right and Bush was wrong.
