I'm sorry for Hans. It's never much fun finding out you were wrong. So what do I care that he was wrong too? Does this make the wrong position "smarter"? Should it make people who were wrong feel better? Do we want to make people feel better about making bad decisions? Is that a good way to structure society? I thought that was what many conservatives didn't like about welfare- the structural encouragement and support of bad decision making- yet that seems to be exactly what you are trying to do here? Seems ironic to me.

>> Blix convinces Shays Iraq's WMD are real

So your argument is "Even a Towering Genius believed that the wmd stock-piles existed. So how can you blame mere mortals such as the president for making the same mistake."

Fine, great argument. But to make it stick you have to demonstrate that Mr. Shays is a towering genius. Maybe in the process you'll discover he's just another ignoramus, like the rest of the neocons.
