WMDs were not the only reason or even the main reason we went to war.
The policy to toss out the baathists and saddam was US policy since the late 90's.
Saddam's refusal to comply with his obligations to the UN were why we went to war. His non-compliance with agreements regarding proscribed weapons was part of that.
Letting one's opponent control the agenda of a discussion is fruitless, especially when their control involves editing out facts.
The left on this issue is hoping that by repeating a false version of what happened, that they can sway minds of a majority of voters. For them this discussion is nothing more than a power grab. Clark's infamous flip-flop on this war is possibly on e of the most dramatic and blatant.
Don's spam here on this little forum is just a chump change version of that same effort.
