NO-ONE who was telling the US not to take action bothered to suggest that Saddam could avoid the threatened action by complying- ALL the protesters said was that the US should not do anything. THAT is where I see the blame belongs. Had Saddam complied, there would have been no invasion-

He was asked over and over. If he isn't going to listen to the United States or the United Nations, it seems really silly to say that those who were against the war should have sent him a damn letter or something. I also point out that, IIRC, he was allowing the inspectors back in when Bush took his decision to go to war. Bush's entire management of the relationship with Iraq has been one goddamn cockup after another. He blew the diplomacy, he blew the community-management, he blew the military planning, he blew the post-overthrow civic management, he falsified his results, he underestimated the problem, he underestimated the forces he would need, he underestimated armory, he mismanaged delegation and he completely and villanously mismanaged the American public by feeding them bullshit.

He's been a cockup from the beginning and deserves to be impeached for falsification far more serious and loss of American resources FAR more serious than any President in memory. If he stood up and started lying about a blow job at this point, I would think he was coming up in awareness.   He's a liar and worse, he is also a goddamn incompetent fool, riddled with delusion and pretense.
