i do clearly remember the administration saying they knew were the weapons were, that has definitely been proven untrue. i do not recall them saying the war would be anything like antiseptic, quick, and realized quickly.

what i do remember is the media giving us scenarios involving thousands of US dead before the war... them reverting to an all-sunshine outlook after we took baghdad.

it's frustrating that even during times of war they feel the need to manufacture news.
