The Iraq War Was Wrong

This is what is being said:

The long-awaited report, the last in a series published over the past several years by the committee, found that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, in particular, frequently made assertions in the run-up to the war that key intelligence agencies could not substantiate or about which there was substantial disagreement within the intelligence community.

“In making the case for war, the administration repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when in reality it was unsubstantiated, contradicted, or even nonexistent,” the Committee chairman, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, said on releasing the 172-page report. “As a result, the American people were led to believe that the threat from Iraq was much greater than actually existed.”

The Senate issued this report.  Now may I see a show of hands of the people that did not know this already?  my question is why are they wasting time on crap like this–it is common knowledge.  Surely, there are more important things that they could be addressing–I don’t know—maybe health care, ending the war or how about education or something as mundane?  (sarcasm intended)
