hand it off to a terrorist and then we got a nuke exploding in kansas also the war will be quick and easy we'll be greeted as liberators it'll be paid for in oil it'll be a cake walk okay

So George Bush is saying all of that.

And then someone correctly comes out and counters and go, it will not be a cakewalk.

It'll be a catastrophe.

It'll cost trillions of dollars.

It'll kill hundreds of thousands of people.

They don't have weapons of mass destruction.

They're not in bed with the terrorists, right?

So like you have these two arguments, clearly one in hindsight turned out to be correct.

The other is what we did.

And let's say someone in the middle of that argument went, no, no, no, no, no.

Everyone stop everything.

I want you to imagine a thought experiment.

Imagine all of the Iraqis disarmed tomorrow.

There'd be peace.

But imagine all of Americans disarmed tomorrow.

There'd be war.

It's like, what does that have to do with anything?

Is there any plausible reality where all of Iraq disarms?

Is there any plausible reality where all of America disarms?
