To expand on my post: smoking gun of WMD may never be found. That is emphatically not the same as the war's justification doesn't exist. Saddam may have been involved in a conspiracy to work with terrorists with a suitcase nuke. His resources, power, technology, buku terrorist connections and overwhelming desire to hurt the US made the Iraqi regime very dangerous indeed, despite the containment fetishists.

At the same time, very likely the WMD did exist. But get used to to the fact that Bush will have to win without uncontrovertible evidence of it.

Well, the Pubbies are having their lunch handed to them and a little shreiking is in order.
I am afraid that the uniformed, disinterested voter, over whom both parties are fighting will hear their yells and not the measured voices of reason and fact based explanation.
HOWEVER, as long as the polling remains strong as it is, my analysis is probably wrong.
The October surprise comment was mostly wishful thinking on my part. I agree that Sadazz was a definite threat and was linked to terrorists, tho dumblecrats are quick to recite their mantra that it wasn't so.
Your points ring very true.
