Left Reliance on Failure to Find Weapons A Mistake

Blinded by Bush-Hatred

NOTE: This article is found in the notoriously conservative Washington Post and written by the notoriously conservative Jonathon Chaitt of the notoriously conservative New Republic. You should definitely not pay any attention to what he says about how some liberals hate Bush sooooo much that they would gleefully make predictions about how we "won't find any WMD in Iraq."

So Bush's claims should never be taken at face value. But accepting the fact that Iraq had an extensive and continuing program for weapons of mass destruction doesn't require taking Bush at his word. The U.N. Special Commission, when it finished its work in 1999, concluded the same thing. So has Germany's intelligence service. So has the United Kingdom's. Indeed, the only people who seem to doubt it are either allies of Hussein or those who distrust Bush so much that they automatically assume everything he says must be false.
