The WMD non issue will come back to bite.

I don't know how the WMD issue will play out here, Pearly. Let's assume they find no ready to go weapons. They can assume that they were destroyed, or moved to Syria. The media here could hammer it, but I don't see how the Dems can get a handle around it; with the evidence now of just how bad Saddam was, and how much the Iraqis hated him.

If we go another month with no WMD, we will get some feel for it by reading the posts here by those who opposed the war. See if they can come up with a scenario that will sell to the American Public. They can sell a "I told you so" to the 25% hard core anti-war here, but I am not sure if it will have much legs going into the 04 election. Depends on how Iraq Democracy goes, to some degree.

You have a much bigger anti-war percentage in Britain, but Blair has the advantage that he always presented the liberation as a moral crusade, not a WMD crusade. He can claim the CIA misled him.
