About damn time
Finally the Republicans are pointing out a basic fact: the Democrats are lying about the War in Iraq. Everyone thought there was WMD in Iraq. Everyone. And Senate Democrats had access to that intelligence. If the books were cooked, then they added the seasoning.
Now this does not mean that the war was the right action, or that we fought it correctly. There are legitimate arguments about these points. There are arguments that the Administration believed that democracy would florish as soon as the 101st Airborne hit Baghdad and that this mistake was tragic. However, there is no argument that they were manipulating the intelligence on WMD. None.
Everytime the Democrats go off on this loony tangent, I think "As angry as I am at Bush, how can I vote for a party that is completely partisan and dishonest when my brothers-in-arms are at war?" I cannot trust a party that seats Jimmy Carter next to Michael Moore at their own convention. What the hell has happened to them?
