ps...I'll do a seach and show you a pic of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein. You might be right, we had intel, but not intelligence.

If I remember correctly...DEM congress...so plenty of blame to go around. One thing is sure(11/19 post)..we've shared the bed of many whores,and unfortunately the offspring are biting us in the butt!
