I agree with most of what you say, but if this is the best intelligence and the best judgement that our authorities have when presented with that intelligence, we are indeed in bad shape.

The biggest problem with crying wolf too often, is the fact that when the wolf does appear at the door, nobody will believe it. This is when the serious problem arises.

There was no need to cry wolf, and in my opinion we did not cry wolf in Iraq. We took out a regime that had violated its own agreements with us when hostitlities ended at the end of Desert Storm.

I have always viewed it that way...and this administration should present it that way IMHO.

The WMDs are a necessary part of that...and very much worth rooting out...but they were not and did not need to be the end all.
