Considering that every single piece of evidence used to support the Iraq war was ultimately based on lies and discredited, there is a huge amount of ammunition to hurl at the admin. Remember, we still have the plagiarized dossier, the aluminum tumes, the balsa wood drones of death, and of course, there still are no WMD's despite the claims that SH had TONS of the stuff. This is just getting started and there's not much Chimpco. can do to distract attention that won't be seen as an obvious wag the dog scenario. My hope meter has gone up a bit. I'm not counting them out yet, but I like what I see in the aftermath of the Sunday shows.
