    He says he'd still do it again

    Ya gotta love the arrogance. Bush says even knowing what we know today, he'd still invade Iraq.

    Right.

    Had the Congress and the public known the truth in 2002-2003 Bush would NEVER have gotten the blank check unilateral authority he got.

    I think he knew EXACTLY back then what we all now know -- that Saddam was bluffing about WMD (in large measure -- no surprise -- to keep his grip on power). Consequently, Bush could not let the U.N. inspections run their course, or the lie would have been laid bare. Hence the precipitous rush to war.

    Lying dilettante narcissist.
