Wow! Dean needs to put down his crack pipe and figure out that the Guardian has already issued a full RETRACTION of their Wolfowitz misquote. It must hurt to be caught using that bogus quote. Then again, old man Dean seems to have weathered his misdeeds during Watergate, somehow.
Bush's quoted statements are acurate, in any event. Iraq *did* produce large, well-documented quantities of nerve, chemical, and biological agents (though most of that documentation comes from Iraq's surrender declarations back in 1991). It is from those declarations that we have UN inspectors in the first place.
What Dean wants to do is to PRETEND that Bush was talking about NEW production as factually as he was talking about the old, well-documented production in Iraq of such weapons. That's purely disingenuous on his part.
Instead of casting stones, Dean needs to be explaining how his Deep Throat buddy Fred Fielding has gotten away with violating Presidential Attorney-Client privilege for so long.
Dean has plenty of explaining to do, and this poor article is only the start of it.
Hey Dean, how about those mobile labs that we found in Iraq?! You know, the ones that you RIDICULED when Powell was only able to show *drawings* of them during his presentation to the UN...
Thanks..&

Nobody else is buying it.
