2. It's a waste of time, but what the hell
<<Almost everyone, including the U.N. and the French, and most of the anti-war liberals in this country believed that Iraq had WMD...If the intelligence is faulty, that doesn't make the President a liar to act on it.>>

No, the reason why many people were anti-war is because george NEVER MADE THE CASE for war. (Remember that rhetoric?) When it looked like he might be stopped, he lied for his war. He sent the highly-credible Powell to lie to the UN. He stopped the UN from doing its work (which hindsight shows us was working), and he and the neocons in his administration LIED to the congress and the American people. They were not mislead by intelligence, they created the misleading intelligence.

He is right about one thing. They only thing that would satisfy me is the impeachment of the president.
