Zero credibility.

Please forgive my lack of understanding here....how was Bush sitting in cabinet meetings for 2 years when he hadn't taken office until 9 months before it happened? I'm not trying to pick, I just didn't know if he had been privy to cabinet meetings as a Presidential candidate.

While not wishing to go through stuff again that we have debated before without anyone swaying anyone, just would like to say that yes, he was sitting in cabinet meetings (for at least 9 months) discussing how to depose Saddam. I would figure this is because the intelligence coming from the prior administration was talking up the threat Saddam posed. At that point in time, I doubt that he had the pportunity to manufacture or misrepresent the intelligence coming to him. Some cry "vengence for his father!", but I've never bought into that.
