Duped into war

Thanks to the reporting of Murray Waas of the National Journal we can now finally saw without a shadow of a doubt that this country was duped into entering a preemptive war of choice. Bush and Co clearly made false statements throughout 2002 and 2003 that conflicted with the information they were getting from experts on Saddam and WMD.

The president's supporters, namely the die hard neoconservatives still clinging to this president will give us the standard "we couldn't take a risk" load of garbage. Neoconservatism doesn't mind risks and guesses as long as its goal is fulfilled: experimental democracy by force. And guess what? It's time for a little bit of hindsight is 20/20 time on the strongest of believers in a democratic Iraq. How many pages and pages in both print and the blogosphere have been wasted on this country?

Now don't get me wrong, when Iraq crumbles under the weight of its past you won't find me rubbing my hands together with glee, however it will be confirmation that the disease to America that is neoconservatism is in critical condition.

Wonder if Christopher Hitchens is still wearing his Iraqi flag pin.
