2002 Bush is enraged that UN weapons inspectors are not finding any hidden weapons.

9. More selective fact finding!

"I come to this debate, Mr. Speaker, as one at the end of 10 years in office on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where stopping the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction was one of my top priorities. I applaud the President on focusing on this issue and on taking the lead to disarm Saddam Hussein. ... Others have talked about this threat that is posed by Saddam Hussein. Yes, he has chemical weapons, he has biological weapons, he is trying to get nuclear weapons."

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (Democrat, California)

In retrospect, were we wrong to invade Iraq? Absolutely!!! Hindsight being 20/20. However, claiming "Bush lied, people died", as he manufactured false intelligence to deceive congress, is ignorant of history, the congressional record, and the statements of the very leaders we trust today!

If we refuse to acknowledge the mistakes of the past, instead of just blaming everything on boogeyman Bush, how do we hope to avoid them again?
