The Washington Post is committing heresy. Have they forgotten whose side they’re on? Or are they trying to repair their credibility by their comments on what is obvious to the rest of the world?

Forget about about what has been learned since Operation Iraqi Freedom, the existence of WMDs, etc. etc. AT THAT TIME, March 2003, the overwhelming evidence was that Iraq posed a serious threat to our country, so overwhelming that even all of the Democrats who had a wisp of intelligence also backed our attacking them.

But the beauty of the McCain, his temper and the MSM is that the MSM may drive him into governing more and more conservative. He is going to be really really angry about his years of cultivating them counting for nothing. And as the criticize him more and more both during the campaign and after he is elected, they will push him more and more towards us. [And he is not that far from us on all but a few issues anyway.]
