Conservatives always use the "But they did it too!!!" argument. Karl Rove
leaks sensitive information to reporters? Clinton got a hummer. Bush lies
to get us into a quagmire? Clinton got a hummer. Hurricane Dennis really
sucked? Clinton got a hummer. It's really a pathetic argument, and a
logical fallacy to boot.

You're not directing the question to me, but I'll answer it anyway. We can
spot a liar a mile off, and it was obvious that GWB was lying. Most of the
evidence indicated that Saddam had destroyed his WMD. The UN and most of
the world said he was lying. I did not have full knowledge that he didn't
have WMD, but I had a pretty good hunch he didn't. And my hunch was
absolutely correct.
