Iraq

I'm amazed at the turn of events that has happened with the war in Iraq.

Now come reports that Saddam didn't really have any WMDs. Oh. The latest news means that:

As things now stand, Bush is left with only one argument and justification for having launched a war that has cost 1,000 lives, $150 billion and whatever goodwill America had won in the aftermath of 9/11. His last-resort reason: Saddam Hussein might have developed weapons that he might have given to terrorists that might attack the United States. And even that reasoning is undermined by the new report of the Iraq Survey Group, which says that Saddam's capacities, whatever they might have been, were withering, not "gathering," under the weight of inspections. -- from Bush is beginning to sound desperate.
