And the Bush administration wasn't able to generate the needed support for an invasion based upon the UN violations alone.  Thanks for unwittingly confirming my point the lies were necessary.

Thank you for confirming your support of unethical practices if it helps someone make a dollar.  No wonder you're in business.

Quote:This is up there with other classics "you can keep your doctor....save $2500 per family".  Nevermind the 98 or whatever Senators, including Hillary, that went along with it all (several of whom had access to intel on oversight  committees).

They had access to the cooked intel reports the same as Powell.  If the intel reports are developed to support a predetermined course of action, then the intel reports aren't of any benefit to any coarses of action other than the predetermined course of action.  But, I don't expect you to understand anything relating to developing intelligence and military planning because there isn't any way for you to make a buck off it.

Quote:Politicians lie and spin to mainpulate popular support.  At what point are you going to figure that out and stop thinking only one side does it?

I realize all politicians lie, like "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."  However, you're assuming they would tell the same lies in the same situation.  Clinton could have told the same lies while he was in office, but he lied about getting laid instead of telling lies which have led to the deaths of over 4,000 US service members.
