day 92/reason 9: Iraq = foregone conclusion
During questioning after a Rose Garden speech today, Bush said: "And let me just say this to you. Knowing what I know today, we still would have gone on into Iraq. We still would have gone to make our country more secure. He had the capability of making weapons. He had terrorist ties. The decision I made was the right decision. The world is better off without Saddam Hussein in power."
Of course he still would have gone into Iraq... the neo-cons in this administration had been wanting regime change in Iraq since before day one in office, and they certainly didn't let lack of intelligence get in their way. And don't expect them to ever apologize to the Iraqi people (or to US citizens for that matter) about the war. To this administration, it was the right thing to do and damn anyone who doesn't agree.
