But nobody ever claimed that Saddam actually obtained any yellowcake ...and the Sun rises in the East. Also true, and equally irrelevant. When Wilson was calling the President a liar, he got hundreds of stories. Now that it turns out that the President told the truth but Wilson lied, oops! he gets just a few stories - along with A-rated op-ed pages to defend himself from the Republican "smear" campaign. I think it's pretty uninteresting compared to the 9/11 commission report, but I confess to not sharing the correct obsessions of the true believers. This line gets lamer with every repetition, Win. Has Howard Kurtz, whose interest lies in the performance of the media during this whole affair, joined your list of "obsessed true believers", since obviously he finds it interesting enough to have written about, not just once, but twice now?

But nobody ever claimed that Saddam actually obtained any yellowcake. Just out of curiosity, do you live anywhere near a place that is likely to be bombed by terrorists? Or know anybody who does? Or have any interest in preventing such an attack? Because "he tried to buy enriched uranium but it appears now that he did not succeed" is one of the stupidist arguments I've ever heard.
