>>selling fear to the people of the U.S.


Think how different things would be if we had found WMDs there! The same mismanaged war, the same questionable errand, the same counterpropaganda, many of the same casualties -- but the reason, believed even by generals on Saddam's staff, would have been justified.

The Bush Administration gambled and lost. Those who, like myself, like the DEMs in the video, assumed the government knew a lot more than they could tell the public (the old protecting sources and methods routine), would have felt justified in their suspension of disbelief -- even though the same bureaucrats, the same faulty intelligence, was in play.
