2. Before the line he crossed,
He had to justify the cost.
So he cried "WMD!" -
Who could disagree?
But he gambled, and he lost.

Why? Because I don't have the hubris to think that, just because I might think that a war is otherwise justified, that the rest of the country would agree with me. YMMV.

On this I disagree.
The worst mistake I see
Is he missed the import
Of the loss of support
When that reason fell into debris.
It's not that the reason was wrong,
Or even that he changed his song.
But he didn't quite suss
His ass would be in a truss
If it proved false and fighting ran long.
