It is so much easier to imagine that Bush had better information than Saddam's generals,
concealed it, and lied about believing Saddam had WMDs.
Imagine? You and Eric are big on imagination these days. What's the matter
with the facts?
"Karl Rove, President Bush's chief political adviser, cautioned other White House aides in
the summer of 2003 that Bush's 2004 re-election prospects would be severely damaged if it
was publicly disclosed that he had been personally warned that a key rationale for going to
war had been challenged within the administration. Rove expressed his concerns shortly after
an informal review of classified government records by then-Deputy National Security Adviser
Stephen J. Hadley determined that Bush had been specifically advised that claims he later
made in his 2003 State of the Union address -- that Iraq was procuring high-strength
aluminum tubes to build a nuclear weapon -- might not be true, according to government
records and interviews."
Bush knew. Bush lied.

After we took out Saddam the Saudis were much more cooperative with us...
The Saudis have 25% of the world's oil reserves. We need them. They don't
need us.
