charade that led up to the war. Even their delivery was so bad and over the top

Condi and the mushroom cloud quote is like watching the worst senior play ever. Same with Bush's SOTU. All melodramatic, lip chewing, pauses.

These guys needed a diversion from people asking hard questions about 9/11 and playing (gasp!) THE BLAME GAME. Plus they wanted to invade Iraq since before they even took office.

The only ones trying to beat them back were the UN inspectors, as I recall.

Let's remember who the bravest men were, the ones who dared to buck the jackal pack of the press and radio who would question the patriotism of anyone still capable of critical thinking (which they too had abandoned for themselves.)

Dennis Kucinich and Russ Feingold are the bravest men in Washington. They voted their conscious when all around them handed over theirs just to be on "the right side" of the vote. Cowards who all hung together because then the blame would be harder to hand out.

The $64,000 dollar question-

What did they all see in those intelligence briefings that caused all to walk out with those shaking heads and ashen faces and be so convinced that invading Iraq was a NECESSITY? an IMPERATIVE?
