Via Talking Points Memo.
George Bush, yesterday:
"Let me talk about the intelligence in Iraq. First of all, we all thought we'd find stockpiles of weapons. We may still find weapons. We haven't found them yet. Every person standing up here would say, 'Gosh, we thought it was going to be different.; As did congress, by the way. Member of both parties. And the United Nations. But what we do know is that Saddam Hussein had the capability of making weapons. And ... umm ... but let me just say this to you. Knowing what I know today, we still would have gone on into Iraq. We still would have gone to make our country more secure. He had the capability of making weapons. He had terrorist ties. The decision I made was the right decision. The world is better off without Saddam Hussein in power."
Okay. So let's pretend it's late 2002. It's clear to everyone that Iraq has no stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction, no means to create such weapons, and no ties to organized terrorism or al Qaeda in particular. Iraq is doing just what it was really doing in late 2002 -- nothing.
George W. Bush would still have invaded.
My only question is why aren't we invading just about every country on earth right now? They also might possibly someday want to do something bad. Those evil bastards must be stopped from ever having the chance to think of doing something against America's interest. Think of the children.
