My thoughts when it happened was, yeah, they're trying to cover their asses, just in case it was true. Seriously, Colin Powell's speech almost convinced me it was true, and God only knows what other information Congress had access to. I mean, Clinton even thought they might have had WMD, so it's not that much of a longshot.

But they only gave Bush authorization to use military force, a. If Sadaam blocked the inspectors, b. If our allies got on board. Instead, Bush said to hell with the inspectors, to hell with our allies, I'm going in anyway, with no corroborating evidence that Sadaam had anything. In fact, with the just the opposite -- the inspectors kept saying that he didn't have anything.

What convinced me that they didn't have WMD is that they didn't use them against us.

This whole thing is just fucked up from top to bottom.
