Yes, to all points.  I think there was an honest belief at the time of the
Iraq war.  Did we find out a lot of our information was false (including
information Saddam wanted us to believe)?  Yes.  That does not change what
we believed at the time.

 

And I have still not seen any proof that anyone deliberate introduced false
info..except Joe Wilson.

And had they been true?  Instead of trumped up claims and scare tactics?
I'd have considered the Iraq war supportable.

 

So you can see why those who thought the claims *were* true supported the
war.

 

In the Libya case we have nothing comparable. Yet the Democrats are staying
silent because they don't want to undercut their president.
