Let's stop this. Bush himself has rightly called for an Independent commission to find out where our intel failed. The debate is over about WMD and AQ ties in Iraq. We were wrong and we want to find out why.

No, we weren't wrong.

The question is not, "Why was our intelligence bad?" The question is, "Where are the WMDs now?" There are simply too many reports of armed convoys leaving Iraq, ships sailing in circles in the middle of the ocean, and far too many destroyed records. We've discovered one of the mobile biolabs, and troops on the charge to Baghdad found chemical weapons in the Euphrates River. Iraqi frontline soldiers were issued hazardous materials suits. Then there's the issue of Saddam cutting $25,000 checks to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, his training of terrorists at Salmon Pak, and Mohammad Atta meeting an Iraqi intelligence official in Prague.

I'll believe the WMDs are gone when documents are uncovered which list the quantities undeclared to the UN, when they were destroyed, where they were destroyed, and when these documents are authenticated. In the meantime, I'll be asking myself, "Where are the WMDs?"

I'm sure a little bit of Iraq's WMDs are being cleaned out of the Senate office building right now...

You wish.
