Sure most of us believed that Saddam had WMD's. The Congress, former Presidents and other countries like Britain. The intelligence on Iraq was bad and got worse after GWB took office due to Cheney's strong arming the CIA agents into fabricating intelligence in his favor.
The clear line of difference is that the Neo-Cons that led GWB around by the arm for 8 years, decided the intelligence was sure enough to put American forces on the ground for a full scale invasion/regime change in Iraq. They made the mis-step of believing that was the best way to disarm Iraq when in fact it wasn't. History now proves that the U.N. sanctions and inspections had indeed worked. President Clinton didn't make that error. President Bush senior didn't. Many in Congress urged caution when considering a full invasion as the proper way of disarming Saddam.
Everyone wanted him disarmed from the U.N. to the U.S. to Britain. The grave error was on the part of the Bush administration alone who took the classified intelligence and made the decision that they were certain enough to go to war. Only four members of Congress see that level of intelligence, so most Congressmen were at the mercy of the manipulated intelligence the White House was feeding them and the rest of the world. That error lies sqaurely on the Bushies and no one else.
You try to rewrite history as if everyone you quoted thought the proper way to deal with Saddam Hussein was by launching a ground war. Just because they believed he had wmd's does not mean they believed the proper thing to do was put over 100,000 soldiers on the ground to verify it. Wrong, wrong, wrong coadie.

I haven't written or re written history
I am sharing ideas from your friends and you FORGOT history
We call that selective long term memory ablation. If you need counseling we can drill down and pull up some repressed memories for ya. Couple hundred bucks an hour.
Looks like your pals gave President Bush some bad information and advice?
Looks like your blaming Pres Bush needed to be exposed.
He is a fine leader and it is clear the Dems backed him with money.
