I remember being glued to my television when the skirmish started. At one point (I was watching FOX news) a group of soldiers came across hundreds of steel barrels. I thought "wow that was fast; they found them". Nothing was stated. It almost as if the just brushed of the barrels as harmless products. I didnt hear anything more about that find until weeks later.
I was listening to a political talk radio show one morning and a journalist commented on the barrels stating the reason that that paricular find was'nt publicized is because of whose name was on the barrels.
There'e no doubt that in the past decade; the US along with many other countries supplied Iraq with technology and supplies for WMD. Perhaps the reason the confidence was so high in the adminstration is because of that fact.
Either way; whatever the reason for or for not going to war is secondary at this point. Perhaps if Bush would have made it a humanitarian cause by promoting the rape, murder, and probable secret preparations for attacks on the US or the country the US is protecting.
