What is peculiar is that an entire United Nations, our real allies, the entire Congress and the administration all saw Iraq for what it was, and did, and was continuing to do, and was poised to do, and what it threatened to do - and that's what caused the US action. To continue to try to make this like "King George W." got into this all by his little self just is not even close to accurate. There was a lot of people involved in this, many of whom for political expediency now try to hide their then-hearty endorsement. ALL of the House and Senate intelligence committee members had the same access as the administration to all of the classified information available, and the clamoring for action was bipartisan.
By the way, Pres. Bush didn't write the "Bomb Iran" lyrics, but whoever did had a flair for parady. it was one of the few paraphrasings of a hit song into a political ditty that I truly enjoyed, as most others are just nasty character assassinations.
