Whatever your views on the wisdom of Iraq, no serious person believes that Bush masterminded a massive fraud, with the help of his cabinet and the entire national security apparatus; that his "lies" then managed to fool the governments and intelligence agencies of a dozen allies; and that, somehow, none of the evidence of this scheme ever managed to leak into the open.I completely believe this to be true. One need only remember Dick Clark and his being ordered, almost immediately after 9-11, to tie it to Iraq somehow. I do think it had more to do with Cheney than Bush but I firmly believe they deliberately lied to get us involved in that war. I think Colin Powell thinks the exact same thing as well.
