Then go back and look at Powells speech. They didn't give as the main reason for going to war that Hussein had a part in 911. That is just wrong.They said there was a lot of evidence that he was a threat to the United states. And there was a lot of evidence. And there are plenty of quotes from Democrats and other countries indicating that that was the prevailing opinion of virtually everyone. And he was a threat. Obviously in hind sight he was not yet a threat with WMD.The fact that he did not have an operational part in the planning and execution of 911 is irrelevant. Though he did have a part in it since he encouraged terrorist generally to be opposed to Isreal and the United States. It is a fact that he paid any terrorists money for acts of terror against anyone he did not like. That supports terrorism in general and is involvement of some sort.Anyone reading Powells speech knew what was ironclad and knew what was spin. Knowing what was spin it is foolish to go back after the fact and say that what you knew to be spin was a lie. And when I use the word spin I am not using it in the sense that outright intentionally wrong facts were said, I mean that things were said with an emphasis placed in one biased direction. We knew it was biased, he knew it was biased, no one was mislead because of the bias as it was as plain as the nose on your face.By all means blame them for being biased. But don't be a hypocrite since every single politician we have is equally biased. Every war in history has been lead up to with biased rhetoric. And through it all the bias is plainly seen.
