(3,425 posts)However, I remember the period before the war and I was absolutely sure that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. I remember the inspectors on the ground had not found any evidence of them and were forced to leave before they completed their search.
There were many good journalists that saw through the lies of the Bush administration. It was their hard work that convinced people like me that Bush was lying. They knew that if the cast of characters leading the charge included the likes of Rumsfeld and Cheney were very motivated to invade Iraq even before 9/11. Unfortunately Greenwald was not one of them. Those of us who felt betrayed by the illegal war and the lies that got us into it have every right to remember and discuss all the inconvenient facts of that shameful time in our past. If telling the truth is an attack on our party, we must be republicans.
