But that's not to say that that thought if he did have it it was such a threat to justify war.

On that they certainly gave Bush the benefit of doubt.

(1) Those Dems voted in favor of war. Therefore, how can I possibly be mistaken to assume that they thought the threat was serious enough to justify war?

(2) did you read any of the quotes in the link? Here are some relevent ones...

"if we have to use force, our purpose is clear...we want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's WMD program"- Bill Clinton

"we urge you to take necessary actions...including air and missile strikes...to respond to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its WMD program"- letter signed by John Kerry

"I will be voting to give the President the authority to use force to disarm Saddam, because I believe that a deadly arsenal of WMDs in his hands are a real and grave threat to our security".- John Kerry

OK, Spence. You're still going to say that the Dems didn't really feel that the use of force was justified, that they were just giving in to Bush's demands? That's what you infer from those quotes?

Come on, Spence.
