CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - Bush says some voters backed Obama ‘because of me’ « - Blogs from CNN.com: "'A lot of people put their reputations on the line and said the weapons of mass destruction is a reason to remove Saddam Hussein,' Bush said. 'It wasn't just people in my administration. A lot of members in Congress, prior to my arrival in Washington, D.C., during the debate on Iraq, a lot of leaders of nations around the world were all looking at the same intelligence."

This is a prime example of the fallacy of the "liberal media". CNN did not mention even one of the hundreds of academics, former state department officials, heads of the military, or think tanks, that questioned Iraq's WMD capability. A simple google search provides hundreds of qualified responses prior to the invasion. The President screwed up and history will bear that out. I guess that is what happens when you employ the "Limbaugh" approach to foreign policy. Which is exactly what President Bush did.
