Well, I don't speak for the left, since, being some mutant form of political life, I am no more aligned with them than I am with the right a lot of the time. The news that there are small caches of old weapons or chemicals didn't change my mind about anything. Not to find anything would be more of a surprise. And since the current info is that it definitely dates pre-1991, and the number of cannisters is the total found over several years, the excitement on the right seemed an overreaction and the use of this by Santorum seems more politically motivated than anything else. That's what I mean by spinning either way. I don't think people "don't care" or that they think it was "OK" to lie. Those are negatively loaded words that judge the conclusions of some who didn't arrive in the same place as the war supporters in the days leading up to the war. It's more a matter of what someone's tipping point was for preemptive action. At this time, it would be so much more positive for the parties (especially the Dems, who aren't exactly a beacon of light right now) to come up with some intelligent, cohesive ideas for the future rather than the "oh yeah? So there, you moonbat yellow leftie!", or "you were wrong, you gasmongering empire-buider!" we get now.
