Reply #19: Of course it was all just a pretense for invasion. [View All]

But it wouldn't have surprised me to hear that some small amount of anthrax or something was found in some remote corner of the country. Remember, WMD has come to mean just about anything more dangerous than a whiffle bat where Iraq is concerned and most countries have at least a small stash of illegal weapons. Using the ridiculously lowered bar the bush* administration set, it was actually surprising they didn't find any.

Regardless, there was no legitimate reason to preemptively attack a sovereign nation based on any of the evidence provided by bush's* cronies. Clinton knew that as well as every other senator who voted for that war. We all knew it was a pretense and that's why millions of people around the world protested against it.

Unfortunately, we lost.
