Bush didn't lie about WMD

Russ thinks President Bush lied about Iraq's WMD capabilities. I would like to say that not only did the President not lie, but he acted correctly on the information that he had. You have to remember that the US doesn't show all of its cards when it comes to what the intelligence services know. And if you think the intel services are anything like what you see on TV, you would be horribly mistaken. They don't always get it right in the end. They don't always have a man inside, which is one of the reasons why the President didn't have all of the information in this case.

One of the things that I have heard is "why are all of the people that are being caught, labeled as master minds?" Well, because they are :-) They are the bosses of the local cell. They planned large scale attacks on innocent targets. They funded the purchase of weapons, lodging, communications and travel of the people that carried out plans.

The President has done the best job he knows how to do. The people that report to him have done the best job they know how to do. The people that report to them have done the best job they know how to do and so on...

Is there some right wing hidden conspiracy going on to <insert favorite conspiracy theory here>? Goodness no. Any time I think I have uncovered a conspiracy at work it has lead to a complete misunderstanding OR a couple of people doing what they thought was right for the greater good... Which is exactly what President Bush was trying to do last year and is trying to do today.
