It's a clever way to change the subject, CB, but it's not the point of the present conversation. The one on the table right now is whether the Bush administration can find sufficient credible evidence of such significant wmd presence in Iraq as to match the rhetoric they used in the runup to the invasion. So far they haven't. And the more time passes without doing so, the more questions will get raised, not only about the absence of the wmds but about the political role in the intelligence process, names will get attached, etc.

It looks to me as if it's possible still to argue to wait but it's fast approaching the point that won't be possible. Just as it's now, in my view, passed the point at which the Bush folk could simply say they found wmd and be believed. Now it will take confirmation from other sources.
