Where Are the Weapons of Mass Destruction?
Defense Secretary Rumsfeld told the high-powered Council on Foreign Relations yesterday that Iraq "may have" destroyed all its weapons of mass destruction before the war. [Yahoo! News]. So without WMDs or terrorists harbored in Baghdad, what was the war for?
Ted Koppel remarked last night on Nightline that the rationale for the war is looking increasingly shaky in the absence of proof of WMDs or support for Al Qaeda. And as ABC reported several weeks ago, "To build its case for war with Iraq, the Bush administration argued that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, but some officials now privately acknowledge the White House had a very different reason for war -- a global show of American power and democracy."
The Bush administration is superb at constantly re-defining reality, but at some point the real world will catch up, and catch on!!

I live in the Washington, DC area, and today marks an important anniversary. It has been one month since there was a sunny day here. On a Clear Day . . . [washingtonpost.com] So this is what it feels like to live in Seattle? No wonder they invented Starbucks.
