5. i'll go you one better.

i knew before the 2000 election that gw would throw a war if he was president. absolutely knew it.

all the rest, too. in fact it was out there, you just had to look for the truth. i so clearly recall my daughter in law at the time, having watched colin powell at the UN, saying, "he was pretty convincing," and me saying, "he's LYING."

yeah. for all the good it does anybody, we knew.
