Let's make a list of those who believed Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction:
Russian intelligence
French intelligence
British intelligence
Tony Blair
the CIA
Hillary Clinton
Bill Clinton
John Kerry
The disagreement about going to war between say us and the French was not whether Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, it was what the appropriate strategy for dealing with that would be.
I've already said, I thought finishing what we started in Afghanistan was a more effective use of military force.
However, I disagree with people who like to play monday morning quarterback and have buyers remorse that despite the fact that nearly everyone felt Iraq had WMD they want to blame Bush and ignore the fact we were all of the same opinion prior to going to war.
I think we did rush to war, and i think Bush had his own agenda for going to war, but I think saying he 'lied' is a stretch, because if he lied, he was in a minority of people who knew that Iraq DIDN'T have WMD.
