Not posting false information. I'm posting based on things that I know. I'm sorry it doesn't jive with what you think you know.

I didn't say that Bush lied. I think that Bush was predisposed against Iraq, and certain people just fed him information based on their agenda that would get his attention, and push him in a certain direction. I think that Tenet's big problem was that he heard the discussions,and decided to feed the boss what others told him the boss wanted to hear. It would not be the first time that people fed the boss information that they thought he wanted to hear.

As to whether the cost of the war in terms of our economy and the lives lost was worth it? I personally don't think so, but history will write that story. I doubt you would find too many Iraqis right now that think their lives are better as a result of what we did. But then, the real target was not Iraq. Had things gone differently in Iraq, we would have moved on to Syria and Iran. The idea of setting up a democracy in Iraq was an interesting intellectual exercise, not the real objective. That's why we had no plan for the follow on in Iraq.

Calling people out based on what you think you know doesn't seem very smart to me. Your facts on this topic have no credibility with me, since all you know is what you've read. And we already know that you only read things that agree with the Republican agenda. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so sure you are right.
