...aftermath of the war has only confirmed the analysis made by the anti-war movement prior to the war. Bush’s two central reasons for war??Saddam Hussein’s regime’s alleged linkage with al Qaeda and Iraq’s possession of weapons of mass destruction—have proven to be nothing but fabrications concocted to win public support for the war.

It would seem crass and opportunistic, political sins for which Bush, if his patriotic armor is to crack, must be left to repent alone...
