I have no intention of voting Blair back in because of that. Can you forgive Bush for it?
PS What's a repuke?
Your are correct, no Weapons of Mass Destruction, and ALSO no connection found between Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Ladin...yet, this president stood in front of the whole nation, no, the whole world and lied to get us into a war that would allow him to avenge his Dad.

Repuke is a childish term for a Republican, and I really wish it, along with other insulting words for the names of the parties, would not be used.

Investigations by both our country and yours have proved that neither Bush nor Blair was lying, so IMO there is nothing to forgive. We know Saddam did have WMDs, there was some faulty intelligence on what he had now no question, and that situation needs to be rectified. The world is a much safer and better place without Saddam Hussein and his millions of dollars funding terrorism, and WMD capability which he would gladly pass along to terroist organizations.
A juvenile derogatory name for half the people in the United States.
