    Interesting then that in the ensuing three years he never used them, and then after we were told that there was an imminent threat, it turned out those weapons didn't actually exist.

    People in the administration, who were involved in the war planning, have already acknowledged that the given reasons were bullshit. And a young politician named Barack Obama, before the Iraq War, delivered a speech that questioned why we were going into Iraq when we had much work to do in finding terrorists, most prominently Osama bin Laden.

    But he had one of the best times ever in the Monkey Bars at the 1982 terrorist combine.

    I got my information from John Kerry

    "Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."

    and

    Judith Miller while reading the NYT.

    Perhaps this is also where Bush got the wrong information.

    LOL. Daddy Bush could have had Saddam Hussein's steaming corpse on a slab in 1991 simply on his say-so, but pussied out and chose not to. It only took 15 more years, 3,000 American lives and a trillion or so bucks to get it done.

    Former Air America host Mike Malloy:

    "So when does Seal Unit 6, or whatever it’s called, drop in on George Bush? Bush was responsible for a lot more death, innocent death, than bin Laden.”

    No, no, no.

    Boom and I are the same person -- and both characters we play are completely fictional.
