Following the money trail is far easier in modern civilizations. Saddam might have hidden his money in his palaces, but bribing others via OFF leaves a pattern which green shaded accounting types can follow and not fire a single shot.

But that doesn't matter, in the end.

If you are telling me that the administration would be incompetent in uncovering corruption in OFF, while it has its complete attention focussed on Iraq, then its going to be as incompetent in uncovering a rationale for war.

Since we know the latter actually happened, so there is no reason to give them leave to try again.

The chants should not be "four more years" but "No more years".

<We did not have adequate human intelligence resources in Iraq>

We had weapons inspectors feeding us intelligence -- the very people that the Bush Administration (or if you prefer to use your own lingo, the "fascists" as distinct from the "liberals") dismissed as irrelevant and useless and ineffective.
