Your understanding of the issues at hand here isn't any deeper than that which led you to post a story that didn't even have its facts straight.

If you'll look back at news stories and voting records, you'll find that the actual events of history go against your ridiculous statement above. Dems have known since before the first Bush administration that Saddam Hussein was awful. Bush the First did and the opposing party members of the legislature acknowledged that during his administration. Clinton knew well that he was dangerous. No one on either side of the aisle has ever disputed that. Our allies in Israel and Jordan have known this for ages, too. Again, that was never in dispute, just like the existence of this yellowcake wasn't.

What Dems did dispute is what Dragonrider explained earlier--a war based on the lies about the obtaining of enriched nuclear material from Niger. On lies to damage the ambassador whose report denied the existence of stockpiled weapons (this yellowcake was moot in that inventory and we've been aware of it for years). On the Addington-Cheney-driven scramble to create intelligence that fostered circumstances under which we could go to war.

Read your history. Read about Kurdistan. Read something from a legitimate news source. Please. You'll be better prepared. And you'll see that no Dem with any understanding of these issues has ever believed anything else other than that Saddam Hussein was a crazy, murdering SOB. Was that justification for a war? Well, it hasn't been justification for a war against the countries in the hands of the other crazy SOB dictators of the world that the Bush administration has been fine to leave in place. So, logically, no, it wasn't justification, at least in the eyes of the Dems. Since there were vast amounts of oil at stake here, though, it had to be justified by the Repubs.
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Bush Lied? What About That 550 Metric Tons of Yellow Cake, Lefty? For too many years now, left wing morons with support and encouragement from the biased media, have made the following idiotic contribution to the debate about the war on terror, and specifically the Iraq theater: "Bush lied, Americans died!" Perhaps he did, but on the other hand-- it turns out that 550 metric tons of uranium yellow cake, the stuff of which "dirty bombs" can be made, have been found in Iraq. Although there is no "reliable source" to quote on this shocker, we do have a Rating: 5
