Perhaps the greatest weakness of the Bush administration is its unwillingness to use the bully pulpit to get its message out. Scott McClellan and the other press handlers should frame the Q&A sessions on their terms, not the media's. They should force the issue of WMD-related programs, and actual rockets filled with cyclosarin, into the public debate since we know that the Dems and "journalists" won't do it.
Precisely. This was the greatest mystery of the '04 campaign -- why Bush didn't competently fight back against his detractors on this very issue. My only suspicion is that the Administration knows what happened to Saddam's WMDs (shipped to Syria, Sudan, Libya, perhaps Iran), and they know it's only a matter of time before all of this gets released, and they're vindicated.
In the meantime, whenever some press dope questions McClellan or Rumsfeld, or any other Administration official about the lack of WMDs, they should simply respond, "Well, where do you think Saddam's weapons went to? We know he had them; the UN inventoried many of them. Where did they go?...That's still being pursued."
