Senate didn't hear from Iraq experts

This was an important element in the definition of "every single expert" used in #reply-17832809 . The point of Senate hearings most often isn't "debate" in the conventional sense. Ritter, of course, will continue to be pounded on by the neocon bloviating pundits and warbloggers in the weeks and months to come. What the heck, it beats pounding on poor old Stanley Fish and the postmodernists.

Last week's Senate hearings on whether the United States should go to war in Iraq could hardly be given much credibility by any serious student of U.S.-Iraq policy, given the conspicuous absences of Iraq experts who offer indispensable insight.

Translation: how dare you use your Iraq experts, not my Iraq experts? Everybody knows that UN politicos know more about a country than actual defectors from the government. Snort.
