LOL!! And all the while the editor of the other neocon publication is questioning Bush. So the question I guess now is which neocon publication to believe? The Frummites at NRO or Kristol and the PNAC/Weekly Standard? Decisions, decisions....

Never believe Kristol, even when he agrees with you. Always find another source. That's what I do.

Mr. Kristol wants nothing better than to divide Republicans and embarass the President. If he had been sure Bush would have invaded Iraq, he wouldn't have supported it. He accidentally, due to his misreading of the President, found himself on the same side.

Now he is doing his best to cause mischief, which is his usual goal. If Kristol is echoing your ill-founded suspicion that there are no WMD's, feel free to believe him and trumpet it everywhere. I, myself, wouldn't be so confident of his being correct.

Why on earth do you seem to think that National Review is a "neocon publication"?

The Frummites at NRO or Kristol and the PNAC/Weekly Standard? Decisions, decisions....

Delusions, delusions....

Apparently, the author of this piece did not get the talking points memo. The new story is: 'no WMDs have been found, but WMDs may yet be found, but even if their not found, it doesn't matter.'

Iraq's Weapons & The Road to War
by Daniel Pipes
New York Post
June 3, 2003
Two oddly similar searches are underway in Iraq these days, one for Saddam Hussein and another for his weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Neither has yet been found.

Bill Kristol: "We have interrogated a lot of people and we haven't found a single person who said he participated in disposing, destroying the stock of weapons of mass destruction. Or in hiding them."

LOL!

You sure made it pretty quick.

And Kristol is only saying that they COULD have been made, nor did he even say the misstatements were intentional. Newsmax misquoted him, which is why I stopped really taking it seriously as a source a while ago.

Furthermore, I am sick and f***ing tired of hearing so-called conservatives who sound more like Michael Moore than Ronald Reagan. We did not apologize to Japan, nor back down, after Pearl Harbor, and I'll be damned if I am going to put up with ANYONE who think we ought to apologize or back down from ANY terrorist group or state sponsor of terror.

Go ahead, keep whining about PNAC. I'll proceed to write a check to them tonight, so they can keep up the good work!

...nuclear materials that could easily have supplied terrorists with "an inestimable quantity of so-called dirty bombs."

"Inestimable." Iraq either had enough nuclear material to build thousands of bombs, or it didn't have enough to even build one. We just have no way of knowing, so the Bush Doctrine calls for a "better-safe-than-sorry/shoot-first-ask-questions-later" approach to foreign policy.
