The last argument of Safire that we have to go to war to save face for Bush is hardly worth discussing

It's an old and popular argument, though, often repeated around here. Funny thing about it, near as I can tell, the people most dedicated to the argument that we got to have a war or W will look like a wimp are mostly the same people who've been pushing W as far out on the war limb as possible all along, e.g. Perle and followers. Looks like sort of a higher level of cheesy high school debate tricks to me.
