tom, couple points.
first, ritter is winning the fight right now. he may well come out of this looking like a star. second, we are only in the 3rd round. too soon to claim total victory. third, even this article couched its message...
>>Mr Ritter has not, of course, been vindicated quite yet. US intelligence may really know something, and significant hidden caches of weapons could still materialize. But the pattern of deception and unsubstantiated allegation is unmistakable, even as the political embarrassment for the Bush administration deepens.<<
with so many couches, who is still standing? -lol-
it seems to me the conclusion these guys are now selling - "the bush administration was wrong regardless of whether iraq has tons of wmd or not" isn't valid.
if they have it and hid it well, how does that make the administrationwrong? it makes them right and saddam an excellent hider of wmd.
on the big issue, anyway.
i'll agree the administration is guilty of spin, though. and that isn't right. hypotheticals should be labeled as such with some history behind it. that wasn't clear to me until i read that article. i'm sure that wasn't an accident.
i will say, though, if it isn't there... bush will be em-bare-ASSed. and he ought to be.
but wait until the 12 rounds are up. the 3rd round leader doesn't always win the fight. |
