I've often said (and I'm not going to go looking for it) that Bush would be much better off admitting that he simply wanted Saddam gone rather than trying all of those poor attempts at WMD, buying nuclear ore, etc.


I'll admit I don't have much faith left, but I have this much. If Dubya were to admit that he wanted to settle a family score by abusing his powers as President and sending hundreds of Americans to die, and thousands to be wounded, not to mention the tens of thousands of innocents who were killed (admittedly those deaths are meaningless for most Americans) - that at least a majority would be disenchanted enough with him to at least make sure that the next margin of victory was large enough that Daddy's buddies on the USSC couldn't give him another term.
