And I wish people could be clear on the fact that the vast majority of American's would not have supported the war without the WMD aspect. All of the other "reasons' were filler. In fact, the majority of American's didn't even support the war without UN authorization.

As to this latest, I seriously dislike the fact that our intelligence has failed so miserably regarding Hussein, but I still contend that on the balance, the war was justified.

You may feel it was justified, but the simple fact remains that we wouldn't be there in this chaotic mess if the over-hyped, non-existent WMD reason hadn't been the cornerstone of the explanation for the war.
That the administration continues to claim Al Qaeda/Saddam connections with not a single shred of evidence to back them up is nothing more than pure, unfiltered propaganda being used to maintain their grasp over the gullable, borderline true-believers. They
want a connection to exist so bad, because then they can more easily forget that the WMD issue, the issue that sold the public, was bullshit.
