I agree with much of what you are saying.
I just don't like rhetoric. Nor do I care for Bush being deemed a straight shooter, when his policy is anything but straight. I think that Bush shot himself in the foot with Iraq. Before and during the "diplomatic process" we were spending tons of money to amass our troops in battle mode on the Iraq border. NOBODY believed that we really sought a diplomatic solution. so the world sensed we were lying to them.
I do believe we will find weapons in Iraq. But I also believe that Bush and his administration stretched how much they had. Stretched how much of a danger those weapons actually presented. and stretched the ties Iraq had to Al Queda. He stretched the truth too often at a time when he didn't have to.
