Tom, Well, the good news is Bush may end up losing his poodle, Tony Blair. Americans may not care if their leaders lie to them, but the Brits get ticked off about that sort of thing.

The problem with Koppel's brain dead comment is that the imminent threat (can't wait even 30 days!!!) and the "knowledge" of vast stores of WMD were used as a pretext to get us into war -- that wasn't part of the war! Does he need a timeline or something to sort that out? The other fallacy is the "all's fair" -- I thought WMD were not "fair." If "all's fair," as he flatly stated, then doesn't that mean our fabricated threat was false justification anyway?
