Me too.  I am definitely not a Bush fan nor have I ever been one.  But I
never thought a President would lie about reasons for War like that.  I mean
we would know eventually about the WMD they just threw the dice hoping that

not really!

If Gore were president and the same chain of events occurred he would be
getting impeached!
