Andrew Sullivan: READ THE (WMD) REPORT

You know, in my more bitter moments (read: all of the time), I think that most liberals would rather die in a 9/11-scale attack than admit we were right to launch the War on Terror, or admit anything which vindicates Bush in any fashion, on any topic. Ironically, as they lay dying, they will finally have the WMD proof they denied, right in their faces, literally. Is this what they mean when they say 'hoisted by your own petard'?

I love this man, and this is why.

Same here, Howlin. So glad he's on our side.

[nutmeg]

we won't find this in the Phila. Inquirer.

Nor the LA Times-owned Hartford Courant!

I'm not about to trust the Deans, Gephardts, Kerrys, Daschles, Leahys, Schumers, and proven feckless clintons with the war against terrorists at this juncture. Losing Bin Laden proves how close degenerate clinton came to abetting our final demise. Scary reading, that!]

Me either

[Howlin]

Why would that surprise you.

These are the very same people who hoped we'd have huge numbers of body bags coming back from Iraq -- for political reasons.

Nor the LA Times-owned Hartford Courant!

But thanks to the net people are going to know about it. This will be a bad week for Dems.

It sure doesn't help when Senator Roberts says he was disappointed by Kay's findings. What was he thinking, what was he listening to? It takes one biological agent, smuggled over a border that we are now demonstrating can't be controlled, handed off to a network of terrorists that remind us regularly that they are there...and you have a disaster. In just these short excerpts, which have been purified for public consumption, who couldn't conclude the reality of this threat?

Great Catch. Hopefully some pasting wizard can put a collection of this stuff together.

All I have to say is .. I pray that God can forgive me for the feelings I have right now about the Liberals

They make me sick

Isn't it interesting how EVERY SINGLE TIME the Democrats try to lie and screw over conservatives, it blows up in their faces?

1) They claim Saddam was no threat whatsoever and create a false "CIA leak" scandal to attempt to destroy Bush. Within days, a report comes out proving Saddam was a massive threat.

2) They attempt to destroy Rush Limbaugh with a two-pronged attack, one of which was intended to put him in jail, and the only result is going to be that the ESPN show's ratings will collapse and his radio ratings will increase.

3) They specifically time an attack on Arnold Schwarzenegger in an attempt to destroy him. The result? In a few days he will be elected governor of the largest state in America, by a much wider margin than anyone was expecting.

They ALWAYS lose! BWA-HA-HAAA!

One of the few articles to which my response is simply, "yes".

To the extent peace-loving people are going to succeed in preventing 9/11s, we are going to have to improve the intelligence gathering. Iraq presents a case study complete with before and after pictures.

Whatever we find will probably differ from pre-war intelligence. Empirical reality on the ground is, and has always been, different from intelligence judgments that must be made under serious constraints of time, distance and information. It is, however, only by understanding precisely what those differences are that the quality of future intelligence and investment decisions concerning future intelligence systems can be improved. Proliferation of weapons of mass destruction is such a continuing threat to global society that learning those lessons has a high imperative.-David Kay

Now is the time for the administration to stop the internal quibbling, the silence and passivity, and go back on the offensive. Show the dangers that the opposition was happy for us to tolerate ... -Andrew Sullivan

Talking point: Read The Report. Do not accept the lie of "Ho hum. No Weapons found."

[Timesink]

It sure doesn't help when Senator Roberts says he was disappointed by Kay's findings.

Hardly anyone outside of Kansas even knows Roberts exists. Don't worry about him.

I want to gloat, but I just have a sense of relief.
