>>I couldn't agree more. What I don't understand, though, is why the administration isn't out there beating this drum? There's plenty of evidence that there WERE WMDs in Iraq, for example, yet I hear no defense from anybody. Maybe if Bush had made more noise about this, his Job Approval polls wouldn't be in the 30s?<<

Jim -

The reason the Bush Administration isn't beating this drum is probably related to the fact that there really isn't plenty of evidence that there were WMDs. The ISG report doesn't provide proof, though Sully claims it does. Read it yourself, if you don't believe me.

I'm still waiting to see credible evidence from a credible source.

I can remember seeing Bush explaining the fact that WMDs weren't found by arguing that there were failures in the Intelligence operations. (Which still didn't stop him from giving Tenet the Medal of Freedom.) I'm sure we could dig up that footage somewhere.

If there were proof, you can be quite sure that the Bush Administration wouldn't have let anyone forget it.
