Sense

Don has been spamming here for months that Bush made up the WMD story as the excuse for warring against Iraq.
Now this is of course an attempt to reset the agenda by ignoring the many other reasons Pres. Bush gave, and received broad bipartisan support for, for going to war. In fact Don's spam ignores the fact that one of the main reasons Pres. Bush gave is that it was not in American interests to wait for Saddam to become an imminent threat.
In fact Don repeats the misquote, that Paul O'Neil ahs repudiated, that Pres. Bush was planning this war against Iraq from day one of his administration.

But Don now admits that Bush didn't make that story up.

Which is no surprise to anyone who has been concious the last several years, since Don's lie flies in the face of statements made by people all over the world and of all political views that Saddam was in fact a danger to his people, to the region and eventually the world.
Don is a bright enough guy, but when he goes into troll mode truth is nothing more than a speed bump for his spamathon.
There is no zero sum situation here. Don can, if he chooses, to engage in the issue. There is plenty to debate around the war on terror. But the tired lies that Don spams here are no basis for that debate.
