Default Re: WMDs and Bush - Lie or mistake?

I voted mistake because Clinton has repeatedly said that on the day he left office, he was 100% certain that Iraq had WMDs. Add to that the fact that in the mid-90's, "Sixty Minutes" aired footage of the aftermath of an Iraqi nerve gas attack on Kurdish villages, it's pretty clear that Iraq *had* WMD.

Now whether GWB had knowledge that Saddam had already gotten all the weapons out by '03 is open to debate, but one could hardly have trusted any of the Iraqi claims based upon the way they screwed around with the UN inspectors. If you're clean, why act like you're trying to hide something?

The UN dropped the ball on Iraq, allowing itself to be manipulated and stalled by Saddam.

IMO, our invasion of Iraq was a day late and a dollar short.
