"We won't be proven wrong," Bush said. "I believe that we will find the truth.
And the truth is he was developing a program for weapons of mass destruction."

The "truth" before the war--
"We know SH has WoMD, we know he has the ability to use them. He can launch an

Trash the UN for being 'ineffective', as some here did before this fiasco, but
standing here at the other end, the UN looks alot more 'effective' at getting to
the truth of the matter as compared to the US 'keystone cops' bumbling
administration.
If this entire situation doesn't describe 'moronic', than I don't know what
does. The sad part is that people are dieing because of the misleadership and
mismanagement of the US.
The truly sad part is that the supposed 'freeest society' on the planet has done
nothing, *nothing*, to fix this fiasco. Rhetoric, obfuscation, backpeddaling,
and fingerpointing are the edicts coming down from on high.

Honestly, this is the best part in my opinion: (...) Which (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
