Reply #2: Time-honored method

Hey, when dealing with a colossal fuck-up, focus on something else! Sure, we were dead wrong about those weapons, and threat posed to the country, and how dangerous the situation was, and now we've squandered billions of dollars, lost hundreds of soldiers, killed thousands of civilians, but we got rid of Saddam!

Okay, we didn't really have any right to do that, it was against international law, our justifications for ignoring that law are now revealed as so much balloon juice, and did we mentioned the thousands dead, and the billions of dollars squandered? But we got rid of Saddam!

Back to the kennel, Poodle boy.
