You've hit upon one of my worries. Such a worry-wart. Put your worries aside and focus on the objectively verifiable. Try to think a bit tactically. To believe that Bush would risk his Presidency and the prestige of the US on non-existing evidence is a bit condescending since it assumes, really, that he and his advisors are complete idjits. It presumes that Bush has the brains of a midget and that the quality of the advice he is getting borders on the moronic. Do you really believe that? I don't and I don't think you do either, in your heart of hearts. Do you really believe that he is going into Iraq expecting to find the evidence he needs to justify the campaign ex post facto? There is already a large body of evidence in existence. Assuming for purposes of argument that this already large body of evidence did not exist, to presume that a campaign of the proportion which is contemplated would be executed on the come is really ridiculous. The assumption says a lot more about the partisan motives of those who think Bush would contemplate such an idiotic strategy than about Bush and his advisors.
