Hmmm... And I suppose we should have berated the folks who wrote about Nixon over-and-over-and over again? Or Clinton/Lewinsky?
Some of the points the man makes, looking at the archives, seem good and SHOULD be put on display. Namely:
1) This was was based upon justifications that were flawed even if true
2) This was was based upon justifications that were not true, at all
3) This was was based upon justifications that were quite likely entirely and consciously fabricated, as anyone with basic research skills and minimal knowledge of the mid east can debunk them (Ansar Al-Islam being a Saddam lackey, for example)
4) The Political price (alienating allies and worl opinion) of this war was astronomical, and given 1,2 and 3 it was ABSURD to have conducted this war
5) Given the silence of the american people in the face of 1,2,3&4, we should REALLY be concerned for our current political environment
Hmmm. Sounds familiar. Hmmm. Maybe if a bunch of cool-headed intelligent people are saying the same thing over and over and over, you should take note?
