Russert pulled out an edwards quote yesterday where he called saddam an imminent danger. Thats the word bush never used but that his opposition never tires in using against him. What strikes me is how purely political FP has become. I dont doubt for a moment that if the situations were reversed republicans would be the anti-war party or at least the least optimistic party. This is relatively new i think to national discourse. There used to be something known as the loyal opposition. Now whatever the position of an administration, once it gets hairy, the opposition immediately takes the other side. Mike

Silly post. Powell would win in a landslide....everyone thought Saddam had WMD....even John Kerry.....its only the Bush hating morons who feel as you do..... Powell will not win, I predict he'll never even run. By the time this is all over there will be so much damning information in the public domain that will prove the Bush admin misled the American people, big time. That picture is already clear enough to those that want to look for answers. When they start holding congressional hearings on the topic and you see even more declassified information in the years to come, Bush and his inner circle will be held to account. Powell may have been duped into toeing the party line - but voters will not reward him for that. He was an insider. As for Kerry or any republican or democrat who supported the President, this means nothing. They were spoon fed misleading information. The Bush administration wanted this result, and they got it. Simple analogy: Those that perpetrate fraud are guilty and liable for it, not those that were deceived or robbed.
