After You Read This, You Will Know What I Knew In 2003.

Who's up for a game of "Conservative Crazies Are So Predictable?" C'mon, it's easy and fun to play. Here's the deal. Go find a red-zone Bush-lovin' war supporter and throw it in their face there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Like they said there were. I like to dust off the line they used that Bush had to start his war because "we can't wait for the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."

Great line, I gotta admit. Were you scared when you heard it? It's OK, you can admit you were scared.

Here's what the Conservative Crazy will say in response. "Saddam was a bad man. WMD's or not Bush's war was justified because we had to get rid of him." Except that they will scream it, and ask why you hate America.

Remember, first Bush had to go to war to stop Iraq from getting WMD's. When that lie was exposed, it changed to Bush had to go to war to get Saddam out of power.

From The Seattle Times:

Less than a month before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Saddam Hussein signaled he was willing to go into exile as long as he could take with him $1 billion and information on weapons of mass destruction, according to a report of a Feb. 22, 2003, meeting between President Bush and his Spanish counterpart published by a Spanish newspaper Wednesday......

......He asked Bush to expand on reports that Saddam might be persuaded to go into exile.

"The Egyptians are talking to Saddam Hussein," Bush said. "He seems to have indicated he would be open to exile if they would let him take $1 billion and all the information he wants on weapons of mass destruction."

Later in the conversation, Aznar asked: "Is it true there's a possibility Saddam Hussein might go into exile?"

"Yes, it's possible," Bush responded.

So now you know. This war that Bush says in that same article would be nice to avoid "because it would save us $50 billion" was for nothing. No reason. I knew that 4 years ago and now you can't deny it. What a shame we couldn't have saved that $50 billion. Except it's actually cost us $455 billion. Plus a whole lot of dead people.

So welcome to the club of people who know. I'm sorry. Sorry it took you so long to see what was there in 2003 if you would have looked past all the propaganda. Sorry that you made such an ass of yourself four years ago defending a lie. Most of all I'm sorry you had to learn about this from some guy with a blog.

It's OK, you can admit you were scared. Just do me a favor...... remember this the next time you open your mouth. The next time a bloodthirsty pack forms and starts to hound you into thoughtless submission, remember how wrong you were....and show you've learned something.
