I won't take offence to gullable, but I also won't agree with you. To call someone gullible is to assume you have greater knowledge of reality, which you don't. You have an opinion that differs from mine. That's pretty much it.
You could be right ... Bush et al may have cooked the books to go into Iraq from the start.
But then I could be right too. He just may have been a US president that changed his philosophy on 911 and decided he couldn't let a hostile world just go on and hope not to get hit.

Well it looks like we're boiling it down to agreeing to disagree, which I can live with. Like with gullable. I don't think it assumes I think I'd have a greater knowledge. A person that's wants another to believe them or use their agenda doesn't compare levels of knowledge before stating their case, they just try to convince them. I don't think I have better knowledge than you, nor did I claim that. But I think the US government knows the issues better than you, and it's against them that I think you are gullable.
You also could be right, the hundreds of people in book, on news, in the press, that have accused them of dropping the ball, or misleading or ignorring, or rushing in; from within the admin, from without, from wherever, may be all wrong and it's all on the up and up.
But then I could be right too. And I don't think that makes me jaded.
