Subject: Re: The majority of "experts" who looked at the intel knew Saddam had possessed WMDs and had used them against his people.

(V): Your argument is the epitome of obfuscation. It can't be that they made a MISTAKE regarding WMDs, it has to be they lied. That line of argument is the reason many US conservatives turn off to the liberal rhetoric. You claim that the WMD issue was a "fiasco." But you've never explained how this is so. As in all politics, the "other side" seizes on an opportunity to make the mole hill a mountain. That is what not finding huge quantities of WMDs were and are: a small issue. The issue of what to do about Saddam and Iraq was much larger than a single thing. That is factual. Whether it was a mistake to invade Iraq is open to debate. There are good points being made on both sides of that question. It's dishonest to ignore that reality.

BTW, the meaning of Richard is "powerful leader." So thanks.
