In Connecticut Ned Lamont defeated former Democratic VP nominee Senator Joseph Lieberman with most of the press and some of the blogosphere declaring the Democratic primary win as a defeat for Bush's Iraq War policy and for those, like Lieberman, who continue to back it. The question that finally arises from all this rhetoric is what exactly is Bush's Iraq War policy, since the predicating statements about going into Iraq have been found to be fundamentally false? Bush didn't stumble ineptly into this war and occupation; he and his administration got us there deliberately. Why?
