I don't believe anybody was misled. Everyone knew the adminstration was lying.

1. He had it right. Too bad we had a bunch of senators who were...

worried about looking bad as presidential candidates instead of doing their jobs.

2. "I don't believe anyone was misled. Everyone knew the administration was lying."

I agree with you.

4. My dad

Who didn't even finish high school (GED), who knows very little about foreign policy and geopolitics and who can't even vote because he is still a legal resident told me in 2002: "Bush is an asshole. Saddam has nothing over there. If anything, he is keeping that country and the region pretty stable. That war will be a mistake. Bush needs to forget about oil and about what his daddy didn't finish."

Then, I was a "wannabe a Republican super patriot" 19 yr. old. I told my dad we needed to trust Bush, and that my "World Perspectives" professor said Saddam was indeed dangerous and the US needed to get rid of that thread. We argued, and I even told him he was in no position to make judgements about Bush's logic because he wasn't educated enough. My dad told me: "You are young and ignorant... give Bush a couple of years and you will see what I'm talking about..."

Dad was fuckin' right... big time... and if my dad, who will never be a "honorable Senator" knew that, those bitches in Congress had to know better...
