110. My vote is for a denial/fear combo
I think, for one, people can't bring themselves to beleive the facts about Bush. It would mean that our country has done something quite terrible in invading Iraq. It is easier to not think about it and commit to "supporting our troops" by allowing them to get killed by the day.

I, like a lot of people, beleived a lot of the B.S. about Iraq's WMD. I didn't go as far as supporting the war, but thought Saddam had it coming. Now, it turns out it was all a mirage and we've lost credibility.

Then of course there is fear...
