'Moot point'? Andrew Card: national disgrace, just like his boss
"[A]s people like Card keep hoping you will forget, Saddam Hussein's WMD stockpiles and programs were the fundamental reason the United States went to war in Iraq. Yes, there were secondary reasons as well, some of which Card mentioned. But without the WMD threat to the United States and its friends, never would the American people or the U.S. Senate have consented to war. They were assured the administration had a rock-solid WMD case against Iraq. And so the United States invaded Iraq, despite the misgivings of some of its closest allies.
"The American people were misled into war. That failure hardly qualifies as a 'moot point.' The price paid so far, and to be paid for who knows how long into the future, is just too horrific." - - from an editorial in the Star Tribune.
