The arguments of the critics are not reasonable, because their argument is that if large stocks of WMD were not uncovered and revealed with a few weeks of the war, then Bush was lying or at least exagerating. That's a huge leap.

There's an old saying, and I'm going to slaughter it because I remember the gist but not the actual saying. It basically says that if you know that there is a herd of horse-like animals without actually seeing them, you don't automatically assume that it's a herd of zebras. It's much more likely to be horses.

Bush's enemies are leaping to the conclusion that it's zebras. And guess what? They gain politically if it's zebras, but they lose politically if it's horses.

Common sense says that the accusers are suspect due to that.

Common sense tells me to believe that it's horses until I actually see those stripes.
