And when did Edwards state that?
Feb. 2002. A full year before we knew the intelligence was dubious. A year before the renewed inspections were proving claims like the aluminum tubes as false.
So does Edwards have the "judgment" to potentially become President?
Oh and just for good measure - I hope you use the same criteria for Edwards as you do for Bush relating to things said. I won't hold my breath though...

Ah, so you condemn Edwards like you do Cheney? Seems like you are playing the apologist routine there conjur.
I don't care what word games you want to play - Saddam did NOT hold up his end of the cease-fire - regardless of "imminence" you try to claim wasn't there. "Imminence" to you seems to be on a sliding scale as with most things coming from the left this year. Lots of monday morning quarterbacking and "nuancing".
Now again, why exactly would kerry continue to fight a "wrong war", especially if it was at the "wrong time", not to mention if it was at the "wrong place"? Does he really believe the soundbites(stolen from dean) he has now started spewing?...or is it just another "nuance"?

In Feb. 2002 the intelligence seemed to point to Saddam being an imminent threat. However, as the year wore on, it was found that the administration was using dubious information and intelligence known to be false.
What part of that do you not understand?

I'm basing my statement on what has happened since we attacked Iraq.
In other words: the facts.
All the pretext for war by the Bush admin.
All the evidence.
All wrong.
or lies
or misunderstandings
or mistakes
or faulty intelligence
or fabrications
or plagiarisms
Not my opinion
not my interpretation
Just the facts.
And that doesn't change the fact that Bush ended the inspections early. Notice how the inspections ended early not long after the nuclear threat was debunked? I wonder why Bush ended the inspections early? Was he afraid the rest of his charade would be found out?Originally posted by: CADsortaGUY

Because it would be morally repugnent to destroy a country's government, military, and infrastructure and walk away, even if it is the "wrong war".
The war was an error of such magnitude that I doubt that we can really fix things there now, but some effort needs to be made.

Well Cady gets all wound up wehn you leave out facts so I wanted to remind you of the one about the rainbow. If there are millions of colors then I bet there are seven. And it was by tripping that I fell though it.
