On Meet the Press, Dick Lugar explained that he did not support Senator Biden's amendment to suspend the Bush tax cut for 1 year on American's who make more than $400,000 a year, which would pay the $87B Iraq bill, because it would single out one particular group of Americans.
Lugar also responded to Tim Russert's question: "Seeing that the principle reason that the administration gave to invade Iraq was the belief that Saddam had WMD that he would use against us, or give to terrorists, what would happen now if the administration came forward to say `We need to invade Iran for WMD,' what do you think the people would say?:
"I don't agree that WMD was the reason or even the most important reason for why we went into Iraq. It was the possibility that Saddam would produce WMD."
Hogwash. Lugar's opinion on the matter doesn't reflect anyone but Dick Lugar, but the war was pushed because we were 10 minutes away from a bio-weapons missle launch.
