No one believed Saddam..........Everyone including Dems said so.......other countries were saying so........
After the fact doesn't matter...........in regards to WMD.........It's easy to say that after it's ongoing and over........He did have them........we didn't know one way or another that he still had them..........and reports all over the place were saying he did...........
The problem is what I've already stated..........I said before that War started ......we are going to go in there and get stuck......If we have to fight them........blow the shit out of them and leave...........I was right........during the War I saw some changes at times and went.........well maybe I was wrong....but in the end............nope.
The problem I had with it is that power was effectively transferred to a sitting President to take us to war any time he wanted instead of Congress doing it as the Constitution dictates. On top of that, it got UNResolutions involved.
That's not how our Republic is supposed to function.
You are damned if you do and damned if you don't..........Giving too much power is 2 edged sword.........cuts both ways..........If we had an ethical gov't and ran ethical agencies instead of using them as weapons then we wouldn't be having this discussion..........
Our problem is giving the power to a bunch of unethical assholes........who are bought and paid for and will destroy anything that attempts to stop their power hunger..............
Laws........don't matter to lawless officials........Our problem is that they need to be thrown out of office and thrown out of Federal Agencies......
No system works with unethical people at the helm.
