We Democrats have to be honest about the Iraq War....

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. I don't think braveness had a lot to do with it. I think a lot of them

who voted for the war, for whatever reason, got snookered by the Bush machine into thinking
all they were saying about Saddam was true. Too trusting? Perhaps some had
rose colored glasses on.

Who, in their wildest dreams, would think a President of the United States would make up
stuff, and send our country's young men and women to die, to promote a neo-con
agenda where the war machine would profit to the nth degree?

And remember, some of them may well remember Bill Clinton saying:
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

I like to think of the ones who voted against this travesty were free thinking and skeptical and first and foremost, hate war.

Some day, I would love to see an expose on exactly what the INDEPENDENT evidence was that supported the statement that "all the countries in the world thought Saddam had WMD" I never heard a single question to them on that. I suspect they "all thought it because the US told them."
