The "motto" for those in favor of the war has been "Liberate Iraq" since day one. The only people (civilians) that you heard clammoring about WMDs were those who were against the war in the first place.

Either way this instant gratification society we live in can't wait to find them but could wait 13 years for Saddam Hussein to comply with the cease fire that ended Gulf War 1? Anything the left doesn't like they call propaganda- it's part of their propaganda campaign.

What is this, we can't settle for revisionist history, so now we're making it revisionist present? Or revisionist current events? Yes, he was an evil, crazy dictator. But the reason we went in there was because he was an evil, crazy dictator who could launch, sell to terrorists, etc WMDs to be used against the US. The administration made a mistake. You would categorize it as an honest mistake, but it was a mistake nonetheless. Please stop trying to spin it as something else.
