Joe Wilson, Iraq war supporter?

The darling of the anti-war left may be working overtime to bring down the Bush administration for "outing" his CIA wife, but Wilson said Saturday that the White House was right to go to war over Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.

"There was a lot of reason to be concerned about weapons of mass destruction in the hands of Saddam Hussein," he told WABC Radio's Mark Simone. "I always thought that he probably had chemical and biological weapons and biological precursors as well." Wilson said his primary policy difference with President Bush wasn't over Saddam's WMDs, but rather on the question of "how to construct a policy that gets to the national security issue of disarming Saddam Hussein and does so at minimum risk to other legitimate U.S. interests both in Iraq and in the region."

He'd prefer the State Department and United Nations had teaparties to discuss the problem till Saddam died of old age.

But aside from that, Wilson said he cheered President Bush's decision to topple the Iraqi dictator, telling Simone: "When the president went up to the U.N. and got the [war] resolution unanimously passed at the U.N., nobody applauded louder than I did."

#2 Joe Wilson's the king of the assholes. And his wife is probably pretty shifty too. There, I said it.

#6 It's disgusting to see liberals try to play both sides of the argument. They vote for the war because that was fasionable at the time, we wanted blood.
Now, they say they were fooled by Bush, the evil mastermind. But he's a dumbass too, so which is he a nefarious mastermind, or a dumbass??? Only a liberal could say for sure.

I forget... How many votes for president did Joe get?
