We all know what the republicans have proported about why we entered Iraq. It's in the news every day. They believed that Saddam had WMD's. The democrats are saying that they didn't believe there were WMD's in Iraq, and even though they voted to give Bush the authority to use force, they "really didn't think he'd use it." Yet they voted for it. Now, if Bush is so stupid, how stupid were they to be duped by an *idiot?* Doesn't say much for them. Do I want to vote those people into office? No, not really. The flavor of the day is to bash Bush because our team isn't winning the miss congeniality contest, and the democrats have latched onto this with allegations that the only reason they thought there were WMD's in Iraq is because "Bush lied." Yet every single one of those quotes were stated with certainty that the there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and many of those quotes were made years before Bush won the Presidency. Now, either those folks are lying themselves or they were stupid enough to be fooled by a "bumbling idiot." Take your pick. It has to be one or the other. It leads me to ask the questions I do. Do I vote for those who are either 1) lying when they call Bush a liar or 2)stupid enough to be mislead when they had all, if not more, information than Bush as many of them were on the very committes and commissions that were gathering the information. As I said, it has to be one or the other. There ain't no gray area in my gray matter.

Both parties were behind Bush when we went in. And the United Nations were in agreement that force was justified. Until I see some real evidence that the democrats were truly duped and how it was accomplished, I'm not going to simply assume that the democrats are telling the truth now. I am NOT going to let them get away with it, and I am certainly not going to vote them into power, especially when all they can say is "It's time for a change" but they can't tell us what the change will be. The bottom line is that EVERYONE believed Saddam had WMD's, even going back to before Bush took office. Now, in an effort to win the game, the democrats are back-peddling at breakneck speed, and I don't trust them. In my view, they are the ones who are lying.
