I don't have the time or the inclination to mess with your screed, which is a scurrilous and smarmy piece of rationalization.

The choice for Bush COULD have been to use his brains to realize Hussein was a poseur, or at least CORRECTLY assume the probability. You repeatedly ignore all the advice Bush received against the war, as though everybody agreed it was inevitable. It was not the case--there was LOTS of input available to him against the story of WMDs. He subscribed to the BS line in full knowledge he was shutting out a lot of information. AND disregarding the known consequences of war for the nation. Instead he was swept up in a presumably Cheny-conducted wave of gleeful opportunism for war-contractors and the exciting prospect of showing his Pop how good he was. It was a nutsoid decision made by a less than qualified human.
