The Democrats are spinning just as strongly on the attack because they sense a political advantage. They want us to believe that the president they tell us is dull and dimwitted was smart enough to snooker them into voting for war. Why should/would he do this? Are we to believe that Bush wanted to put our troops in harm's way for nothing?
This whole thing smacks of political maneuvering and since the war is unpopular now these savy polititians want to distance themselves from their previous support and claim they were duped (yes, re-write history). How convenient for them. They are too embarassed to admit that they like the president based their decision on the best intelligence at the time. They are smart people and not innocent dupes without resources.
