Fox News

Yes, it is important that we find weapons of mass
destruction in Iraqi.  To find them determines
the credibility of our President, the CIA and
ultimately the United States.
If no weapons are found it will definately affect
the 2004 Presidental elections.  At this point it
appears as if the President lied to us or the CIA
misinformed or lied to him.  However, I do think it
is important to capture or kill Saddam before we can
make any final conclusions.  I believe that many
Iraqi's still live in fear thinking he might come
back into power.  When the fear factor is gone I
believe that Iraqi leaders, technicians and
citizens will come forth with valuable information
concerning the presence or absence, or the
destruction of weapons of mass destruction.
Meanwhile the President needs to deal with the
credibility of his office and the CIA.  We need to
be able to trust the President.  So what is the
truth.  If Iraq has these weapons where are they?
Were they destroyed before the war?  Were they
moved to a neighboring country such as Iran?
Why did the CIA seem to know everything before the
war and now seems to know nothing?  People need
to be held accountable.  If these weapons exist why
doesn't the CIA identify the locations and reveal
the weapons.  And if they don't exist perhaps we
need new leadership in the CIA.  Someone we can
trust to produce a product when they say it exists?
I like President Bush but unless these issues are
resolved in the near future I will not be able to
vote for him.

Interesting my thoughts some years ago...I was caught up in the rhetoric, and now I consider the Iraq war a mistake, because it spread our military too thin, and took the focus away from pursuing bin Laden...
Those that study History know that Hitler spread himself too thin, pursuing a war on two fronts and resulting in his eventual downfall.
In retrospect I think the President was rapidly losing support in 2004 and the main reason he won re-election was not his popularity as much as it was Kerrys unpopularity...similarily, in election 2008 Obama seems to be gaining many votes due to Hillarys unpopularity...James
