Re:If this is true (Score 1)

Your faulty assumption is that the Administration knew that Saddam had no weapons and force fed us lies to push forward the invasion. However, the logic doesn't hold up. If the democrats felt that we shouldn't invade on the chance that Iraq had WMDs then the best course of lying would be to say that they did in fact not have any WMDs and we were invading in response to the ethnic cleansing and other breaches of the cease-fire reached at the end of the Gulf War. The Administration, the Congress, and the entire world community held the view pre-Iraq invasion that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and we invaded anyways. My point, which you so brilliantly missed was that we would have invaded if Iraq had WMDs or not. Everyone, at the time of the invasion, thought that he did and it wasn't until several weeks later that questions were starting to be raised about where they were. Actually, it is worth pointing out that even Saddam thought he had these illegal weapons. Several reports were recovered in his palace in which his scientists claims their developments were moving right along in several weapons programs. The scientists were, as we know now, over stating their claims. But the arguement that nukes or WMDs is the only way to be 'safe' from invasion is faulty.
