We're never going to know all the facts about what went on over there. Intelligence reports are kept classified for a reason. However, I am acquainted with a young man who has worked in intelligence on some of the lowest levels (he collects intelligence from operatives in the field). He told me that there was there was ample justificatin for war.
That being said, the way this war has been handled has been frighteningly incompetent. Ever since the capture of Hussein it's felt like American involvement in Iraq has been influenced by public opinion. No one is being helped by this now.
As for disrespecting our 'wonderful president,' I think wonderful is a long stretch. Bush's presidency has proven two things to me: 1) Anyone in this country can rise to be president, and 2) not everyone is suited to be president. I'm very much looking forward for a change come January.
