    Because the Administration was feeding them the story.

    Who got the story from the Clinton Administration:

    "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.

    "Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998.

    "He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983." Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18,1998.

    "[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998

    "Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998.

    So all the intel amassed by the Bush White House in 2002 to make its case for an undeclared war was provided by the prior administration and four years old? Interesting.
     
  4. DEMOCRATIC party, Boom. You sound like a dunce.
    As for the rest of it, well, if you want to try and shift the blame off the people who faked the intel and LAUNCHED THE WAR, have at it.

    We all know that everyone got their information from Judith Miller.

    The ol' Democrat party slur will be a thing of the past in about 11 months.
