Does that even matter now? Hindsight is 20/20.

I'll admit that even though I didn't support the war, I actually thought Saddam had WMDs too. I figured he had to--he had limited conventional military might, he had used WMDs in the past, etc., etc. It just made sense.
But I'm not making the big bucks analyzing intelligence. One hopes that the powers that be in Washington are hiring smarter and better-resourced people than us to make these determinations--so in that sense, what we thought doesn't excuse anything.
