scout--you are empirically wrong on the question of the wmd question--you would think, after this had gone round so many times on this board alone that something of the facts would have sunk in.
and you are wrong on the question of the reasons for the bush administration losing before the unsc. fact is that the case was such a sham that powell has even since apologized for it.
since you assume in advance---despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary--- that the bushwar is legitimate, what you have to say about how a democratic president might have acted is of no interest whatsoever, because nothing about the question gets to the legitimacy of the act itself--everything stops at the john wayne threshold. the matter is only about whether you can imagine a democrat giving you the same kind of vicarious experience of manliness---no wonder you are not and cannot be concerned about matters like the fiasco that is continuing to unfold in iraq as a result of this kind of thinking....
