I also think the naysayers will have the opportunity to eat piles of crow. A qualified naysayer would just as soon sit down to a meal of "cow pie" before stooping to partake of the "crow pile." But in any case, I fail to see what difference it makes. The "cat" is now so far out of the bag that there is clearly no way to put it back. WMDs or no, the US, GW, DoD, neocons, et al, are going to pursue this policy of affirmative defense come hell and/or high water. Other than to expedite a cleansing of the environment why even bother to look for the WMDs? 0\|0

<<I also think the naysayers will have the opportunity to eat piles of crow.>> KLP....I don't think this should descend into a "I'm right you're wrong na na nahnahnah nah" issue. I can certainly go on record as being a naysayer with regards to this war however like a lot of the other "naysayers" on the board I'm also on record as stating that I hope we find these WMD's. I really do....otherwise our justification for this action becomes groundless, not to mention the complete breakdown in credibility that we will face from the rest of the world (which let's face it, doesn't need any more erosion!). If you're right and Miller is on to something here then we should all be happy for it. Remember we're all on the same team here after all.......some of us just have different rose colored tints in our glasses ;>) MON.
