The rationalizing begins...

"I honestly don't believe there's any political cost if we find no weapons of mass destruction. I also think that the possibility (of not finding anything) is quite remote. But in the very unlikely event that no weapons of mass destruction are found, the political consequences for the United States are effectively zero because the war is over, we have prevailed and the rest of the world will simply acknowledge that reality."

John, we shouldn't get too depressed about the future because.....

What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come, hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.

Put down the knitting, the book and the broom,
Time for a holiday.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.

Come taste the wine, come hear the band,
Come blow your horn, start celebrating
Right this way, your table's waiting.

No use permitting some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Life is a Cabaret old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.

Life is a game which must be played,
Come on along, start celebrating,
Set your heart a-palpitating.
Start by admitting from cradle to tomb,
It isn't that long a stay.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Only a Cabaret old chum,
So come to the Cabaret!
