From what they knew, Saddam had ratcheted up his weapons program.
We were still reeling from the attack on the WTC and the * junta took advantage of that tragedy to manipulate our leaders.

Should they have tried to dig deeper to verify the claims made by the repubs? Yes.

But I do not hold them in contempt for falling for the same BS that 90% of Americans fell for? No.

It is spilled milk. We need to focus on the group that lied to get their votes for the war.

* has to go at all costs, otherwise we are royally screwed.
