"you noticed how the Dems have remained pretty silent on the "Bush lied!" tactic?"
It's like it vanished overnight. There is definitely something going on under the currents. And I've seen Dubya play rope a dope on the dims too many times to not think that there are some real zingers coming.
When the Administration releases what it knows about Saddam's WMDs (I say "when," and not "if"), the Dems will wish we were all back debating the Swift Boat Vets' case against Kerry.
Here's my theory: The US knows Saddams' WMDs went to Syria, and the US is putting pressure on Assad Jr., the same way the US and Britain pressured Quaddafi. I would not be surprised to see an announcement (the last weekend of October, if we're lucky) from Little Assad admitting that Syria received Saddam's WMDs before and during the Iraq war, and "in the interest of regional peace" is turning them over to the US or some international entity like the UN.
