"According to you, every protestor world wide knew what Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and John Kerry didn't."

No, unlike some around here, I am not so invested in making definite pronouncements about what's in other people's heads.

I can tell you, though, that Bush's credibility with the anti-war protestors was a lot lower than with those who stood "shoulder to shoulder" with him in the Rose Garden, or otherwise those who offered a more tepid "me too." Sen. Byrd was far more persuasive.

Besides, logically, the burden of proof was not on protestors to know that Iraq had no WMDs. The burden of proof was on those who waged a war of aggression, or otherwise supported it, whether actively or passively.

It's kind of ridiculous that I even have to point that out.
