32. not everybody who believed Powell supported the war.
Edited on Thu Feb-22-07 03:12 PM by WoodrowFan
A lot of us here believed that Iraq still had some WMD programs and some WMD stockpiled (remember the "we have the receipts" jokes here on the DU?) but STILL opposed the war because we thought that the UN inspectors would find them given time and support. There's a huge difference between thinking Saddam was still hiding some mustard gas and Condi's "musroom cloud" scare tactics. I suspect that a lot of the anti-war votes in the Congress came from those who felt the same way: give the UN inspectors time and they'll fine what ever may be there and that the Bushies were vastly exagerating the threat...
