well, i thought Dragonlich was trying to endorse a counter-scenario in which the Bush administration acted in completely good faith and did everything right, though on re-reading it, i may have misread it before.
You are definitely right on your second point and that's exactly why i don't believe they lied. Of course, some of the anti-war people will now say they knew all along there were no weapons, but that's BS. They never knew it, they were guessing, based on the info they had. Likewise, the Bush administration gave their best guess. What I question is whether or not they really considered all the information available in developing this best guess, or if they started with a guess and then asked for information to back it up. I don't know which is true, but perhaps this commission will shed some light on it.
