As for better informed or whatever so far the folks who have opposed Bush rather than defend him have been right about everything.
Unnecessary invasion based on false evidence.
No WMD.
No terrorist threat.
No nuclear material.
Bush's war will cost us hundreds of billions.
Bush's war will exacerbate the terrorist threat.
The US can't handle the job without the UN and NATO.
What have you and Bush been right about? "Bring it on?"
Show me one argument that you had against the war - BEFORE it happened that has now been PROVEN wrong.
The ones you list weren't arguments BEFORE the war
This should be interesting

I'm with BOBDN on this one, you've gone over the edge. All of these issues were raised before the war. Denying it is like tcsenter claiming Bush never tried to link Iraq to 9/11. No difference of opinion there, just flat wrong.
I provided six or eight links to articles, all published before the invasion, that discussed some of these issues. The oldest was July 2002, IIRC. I think I copied them all into the thread titled "A chronicle: Media begin to question Bush's honesty" or something like that. Do a search on "chronicle" if you actually care to see that you're wrong.
OK, lets take these one at a time - AGAIN.
Unnecessary invasion based on false evidence. This is a blanket statement of OPINION which is riddled with holes
No WMD. - Mind telling me which people were stating this? Or is it just a convenient accusation NOW
No terrorist threat. - Are you still not accepting that Saddam paid for suicide bombers and blatantly called for more?
No nuclear material. - huh? what have you proved? Have we not found evidence of a Nuclear program(which was supposed to be TOTALLY destroyed - research, equipment, etc)? BTW - I do believe Nuclear was billed as a "program"
Bush's war will cost us hundreds of billions. - Oh boy, yippie - you "proved" the obvious
Are you nuts? Didn't you people blast Cheney or Rummy about not giving an estimate on the cost? -you think this "proved" something? - absurd. War isn't cheap - nobody said it wasn't going to be expensive.
Bush's war will exacerbate the terrorist threat. - BUahahaha...I thought just a few characters ago in your post you claimed there was no "terrorist threat"
But anyway - care to show how this "threat" has been "exacerbated"? So they hate us - yeah - they hated us before
Do you suppose we go give them hugs instead of bullet?
The US can't handle the job without the UN and NATO. - Did we not try go through the UN? Have we ever stopped asking nations for help? Did we not have 30+ Nations in our INTERNATIONAL COALITION? The US and Allies can handle the job though and are doing a good job. Nothing is easy - and we will and are welcoming any help that people provide.
"some" of these things were brought up before the war
Now care to PROVE those came true? WMDs? yep - haven't found them...that we know about. Maybe we won't - but remember - we didn't "make up those claims". Everyone took WMDs and ran with it. Go back and read what Bush said about them before the WAR. Not just chopped up quotes - the FULL quotes. You will see that you have twisted and skewed the context of many of them - including those "16 words".
Now again - you haven't PROVED the war was all based on lies - only your narrow twisted perception of what this war was based on. You intense desire to demonize Bush has clouded your thinking. It is funny to see all the "conspiracy" spins that you people come up with, though. Everything is Bush's fault
Yup - he's a moron....but yet he is this grand schemer hell bent on world destruction.
You people crack me up...no really - I damn near fall out of my chair reading this forum sometimes
Oh well - you'll believe what you want - you'll hate what and who you want - you'll once again be disappointed when Bush wins in '04. Guess you'd better pack your bags and get out of here before Bush "ruins your life"
