Rethinking the Iraq critics

By Michael Barone
May 13, 2008

One such narrative is, "Bush lied; people died." The claim is that "neocons," including Mr. Feith, politicized intelligence to show Saddam Hussein's regime had weapons of mass destruction. Not so, as the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Silberman-Robb Commission have concluded already. Every intelligence agency believed Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, and the post-invasion Duelfer report concluded he maintained the capability to produce them on short notice.

:whistle:

Unfortunately — and here Mr. Feith is critical of his ultimate boss, George W. Bush — the administration allowed its critics to frame the issue around the fact that stockpiles of weapons weren't found. Here we see at work the liberal fallacy, apparent in debates on gun control, that weapons are the problem rather than the people with the capability and will to use them to kill others.

"Typical White Person"
No way, the MSM said Sadaam was an angel and Bush is a war monger, that has to be true right?
