I have a feeling Iraq threads will dominate this board for a while longer and there will be no rocks to hide under for either side!!

Heheh, yeah. I couldn't resist though.

Still can't believe people are considering voting for Bush after all this stuff coming out showing how we were really being misled, and how incompetently the post-war effort is being handled in Iraq.
Gassing the post-war planning is a pretty good reason for firing them.
No one is missing Saddam. And only about half of America is sorry they bothered.

For sure no one is missing Saddam, besides a select few in Iraq I would imagine. I'm definitely glad he's gone and i'm sure every anti-Iraq war person is as well.
Unfortunately, that isn't the problem that I have with the Iraq war. Eliminating Saddam and his rule over the Iraqi people were more of to-the-side bonus's of the invasion, they were never used as the full blown justifications for war. Well, I suppose eliminating Saddam was, but because of the 'threat' he posed to America, not really because of the way he treated his people.

The discussion on water cooler row in America is whether the Bush team are idiots and morons for believing the WMD argument or whether they are deliberate liars on the same topic. Both might be cause for firing but one certainly is

Tricky question for America in it's current state. There is such a distinct division in America revolving around Bush: either you really hate him, or you really like him. So i'm not suprised when I see two people on TV, one of which saying how the Bush admin was completely lying about Iraq and the other saying it was merely CIA intelligence the administration was passing on, intelligence that was later found to be faulty.
Who knows, though I suspect it was a bit of both. Using certain intelligence that supported the war effort (which turned out to be flawed looking back), and perhaps 'bending and twisting' other stuff to suite their cause...
