They knew that Iraq had no WMDs and no ties to terrorism, and invaded

doing so diverted military and intelligence resources from the real
fight against terrorism in Afghanistan.

In national polls right now, any of Hillary, Obama or Edwards would
win any matchup with Giuliani, McCain or Romney, except for Hillary -

the Republicans' corruption, and their inaction on poverty, health
