July 2004 interview could only be published after his death. On CNN.

1. It's all over the place already, and ..
...actually that's NOT what he said. He said that using WMD as a justification to invade was wrong, that it was the wrong reasoning.

He never said we should have stayed the hell out of there, though.

3. in his following remarks he says we can't be going into countries
spreading democracy when they don't want us there.

Too bad he feared BushInc so much that he wouldn't speak his mind when he was alive - and do so BEFORE the Nov 2004 election.

2. ALOT of powerful voices chose to support Bush's policies publically between 9-11
and through the 2004 election, just to protect the overall fascist agenda, even if they didn't agree with the invasion.

Even some powerful Democratic voices were raised in support of Bush's decisions - Dems who would have much to lose if an anti-corruption, open government Democrat were to take office.
