The whole point is that is was all over information that Bush new was false.
The democrats were convinced way before Bush was elected.
Not to mention that even after the war nothing was found that hadn't been destroyed and/or rendered inactive and useless for any military purpose since the 91 gulf war.
Complete lie. 750 tons of WMDs were destroyed in front of UN inspectors, 250 tons went missing before the invasion.
