Tony --

What I am asking you to do is to separate true from false claims about
Iraq. I am not asking whether Iraq had nuclear weapons, because that's
something that nobody even claimed. What I'm asking is whether anyone
on the left had ever claimed that Iraq was in *imminent danger* of
obtaining nuclear weapons; an imminent danger that could not be fixed
by the presence of weapons inspectors and a strong embargo.

Were these people correct? Had anyone from the Democratic side of the
aisle called for an invasion of Iraq? Would you, knowing what you know
now, call for an invasion of Iraq? Why?

The Iraq intelligence was ginned up by political operatives
specializing in creating hysteria about whichever enemy-of-the-minute
they've fixed their steely gaze on. Big surprise: they did the same
with Iraq.
