Blix, El Beradei say Iraq War Unjustified

[mburbank]

I don't know.

I agree that the presence of Nuclear weapons doesn't mean invade right away, or we would have done so in N. Korea. If the administration thought nukes meant you had to pre-empt than Pakistan would be in a lot more trouble right now.

I think it would change my position on the war dramatically though. It would change my mind that Iraq was a red herring. It would change my mind that the Iraq war was actively detrimental to US security.

I think the main thing about Blix and El Baradei is it chips away at the 'revisionist history' of the Bush administration who want US voters to believe that everyone agreed with us about Iraq, and that to whatever degree we were wrong about WMD, so was everyone else, and there was no real debate about what was going on in Iraq.

It wasn't that long ago, and I find this claim an insult to my intelligence, and typical of the administrations contempt for it's constituents.
