    Are moonbats consistent?

    "The McClatchy news organization exposed the misrepresentations and doubts about the intelligence and other arguments for war during the entire pre-war buildup. It's just that the NY Times and Washington Post and TV networks ignored it. Bush has lied from day one of his administration and there's no reason for Bubble Boy to change now." -- de elk

    Of course, the WMD debate concerning Iraq began long before Bush became president. The Clinton administration left office claiming that Saddam still had WMD and, thus, was a clear and present danger at all times.

    Do you believe the Clinton administration also lied about Iraq's WMD? ("But Clinton did not invade Iraq" is not an answer to that question.) If so, how much confidence do you have in Barack Obama's national security team, which includes a large number of Clinton retreads?
