I suppose that many believe that this subject has been covered here rather thoroughly on this board, to which it has before the war. Now that the election in November is right around the corner and Bush has had to backtrack away from his statements regarding why we went to war with Iraq:

1) "Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised." GWB

2) "Iraq has ties and supports terrorism"

3) "Sudham's criminal treatment of his people."

I think its critical to assess whether this president has misled the American people and has a clear strategy for why we are over there and if it justifies spending $1B a month. I think this is especially relevent to those of us in the middle who gave the President the benefit of doubt considering our country had just been attacked.

Regarding the Meet The Press program with George himself, I had to applaud his courage for going on the program, but was disappointed in the lack of depth to his responses and did not feel that he resoundigly put down any of the difficult questions that were asked of him.
