Ken Mehlman was on Meet the Press today and he is just evil. Tim Russet asked him about the information leading to war. He just kept dodging questions and misleading. He repeats that democrats had the same info and concluded going to war. Russet points out that no the president had more info and that he's accussed of cherry picking. Mehlman cites some other study that said the info the president had was more conclusive, which can't be true since there weren't WMD nor a program to build them. And we know that he removed the caveats from the intelligence before sharing it with the world ("may have" became "has").
When the quesitons got too tough he falls back on should we have waited until he did have weapons before taking him out. This is just a ridiculous argument. It could be used for any nation. Let's attack Britian before they become our enemy. Iraq was not planning an attack and wasn't reconstituting their weapons program. Saddam was bluffing that he was, throwing up a smoke screen saying he was more dangerous than he was (hmmm, sounds like Fitzgerald's baseball analogy applies here).
