I saw it. I just disagree with it. September 15 to October 15 would be ideal, after the conventions are over, and candidates are set. Then the entire Democratic premise of "No WMDs Were Found!" is totally devastated. They would have ZERO credibility.

Well, I just can't see "No WMDs Were Found!" is going to be a major theme for anyone except for the most radical Left.

It certainly won't be a major theme for John Kerry, who voted to invade Iraq and made numerous public statements emphatically stating that Saddam had WMDs, even writing in an op-ed in the New York Times that "the unrestrained threat of weapons of mass destruction in the hands of Saddam Hussein is unacceptable" and "There is also no question that Saddam Hussein continues to pursue weapons of mass destruction".

The fact is that John Kerry is going to avoid the subject of WMDs and the justification for war in Iraq like the plague because it hurts him far more than it hurts Bush. The vast majority of Bush's supporters support the President's decision on Iraq and believe that Saddam did indeed have WMDs. Kerry's supporters, on the otherhand, disagree with the Senator's vote for the Iraqi War Resolution by 71%.
