Who cares if there was no WMD?


Lost amid all of the rancor about Bush's argument that Democrats should have known better than to believe Bush about WMD and the need to go to war in Iraq is the implicit admission by Bush that he would have gone to war even if he knew there was no WMD because he believed it was the right thing to do.

In the end, isn't that really what matters - that Bush simply does not possess the judgment and discretion necessary to serve as the Commander in Chief. I mean, even if it is true that Clinton also believed that Iraq had WMD prior to the war, Clinton never asked for authorization to use force to disarm Iraq and he never suggested we put 150,000 soldiers at risk and spend $300 billion to promote democracy or whatever other excuse Bush now has.
