re: The difference is...
Nobody "lied," although the Left and the Democrats spent three years trying to make that case and never did. "Spin," I can accept, although it was more about paying attention to data that fit the conclusion, and not paying attention to data that didn't.
The idea that everybody knew Iraq was harmless except Bush, and that nobody else would have drawn the same conclusions based on the available data, is ludicrous. "Desert Fox" wasn't a field exercise.
If you don't think the IAEA can "spin," you haven't been watching the Iran nuclear situation very closely.
Tell ya what, a few years from now we'll tally up the eventual costs of Iran fielding an atomic bomb, and put them side by side with the Iraq War.
