Who cares?
Who cares if there never were WMD's and who cares if Bush just used them as his Gulf of Tonkin?
Who cares if there is or isn't a connection between Iraq, Al Queda and 9/11?
It just isn't important.
What is important is that the US now controls the vast majority of the worlds oil supply. This insures that we will remain the worlds sole super power for the rest of this century at least.
We have a large unstopable army in a wonderfully strategic location.
The cost of that occupation will strangle the new deal and great society right out of the federal government. And no matter how liberal wacko any future president or congress will be, they will never have the political capital to withdraw.
So I don't care if all the reasons given for going to Iraq were false. The result is what counts and making sure we are the biggest dog in town is a pretty good result.

I care. I don't want my President or my government intentionally lying to me.
I support GW 99%, and don't for a minute think he lied, misconstrued, led us astray, or any other of the accusations that have been hurled his way.
But, by God, if a President - ANY President - is going to take his country to war, then he better be completely up front and truthful with the citizens of the country about the justification.
I think President Bush did clearly and truthfully justify the reasons for taking this country to war. As a citizen, I'm quite comfortable giving him plenty of time - years, if that's what it takes - to find out everything we need to know.
