seabass...

As I said last night, there is a big difference between trying to find out exactly what happened and how to prevent a repeat in the future, and a bunch of lefties running around screaming that "Bush lied to the American people" and "impeach Bush" with not a shred of evidence to back that assertion up. The former is justified, the latter is foolishness, at best. It says far more about the accusers than it does about Bush.

Not even most liberals agree with the notion that Bush intentionally lied, only the far lefties who leave their logic somewhere else. While many liberals are certainly willing to use it for political benefit, believing it is another story altogether.

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.
