Kristol : 16 words, but Gephardt's

Gephardt's 16 Words (washingtonpost.com)

By William Kristol
Thursday, July 24, 2003; Page A21 "George Bush has left us less safe and less secure than we were four years ago." -- Rep. Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.), July 22

President Bush's 16 words on uranium and Africa in his January State of the Union address -- "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa" -- have become famous, or infamous.

But Dick Gephardt's 16 words, spoken in the course of a major foreign policy speech this past Tuesday, are the ones that matter.

Bush's words, though probably a mistake, didn't change anything. The vote to authorize war had taken place months before. The arguments for and against war had all been made and re-made.
