While a reasonable person might well ask what has become of those weapons out of genuine concern for the future safety of innocent people, a leftists' motive for asking this question is purely political in nature. We simply have to find those weapons, and if we don't then Bush is a liar, case closed. This assertion is, of course, nonsensical, but they repeat it over and over again anyway. It never occurs to them that a person can be wrong about something without being a liar. I'm not suggesting that Bush was wrong in this case, in fact, recent developments in Iraq strongly suggest that he was not, I'm simply pointing out that being mistaken and lying are two different things. Liberals also overlook all of the obvious explanations as to why we aren't finding huge stockpiles of WMD in that country, and leap directly to the most unsound conclusion for no other reason than they hate the president and everything he stands for.

The most important paragraph of the whole editorial IMO. The fact that someone would put our national security BEHIND partisan politics is just plain STUPID! Consider that if/when there is a WMD attack they'll just BLAME BUSH no matter what his policy is.

These people believe that when the United States is overthrown by revolution or by invasion, the revolutionaries will be them or the invaders will recognize their superior education and ideas and will naturally look to them for leadership in the new order.

"Consider that if/when there is a WMD attack they'll just BLAME BUSH no matter what his policy is."

This is why they never think anything through - why should they - they'll just blame the GOP when their next policy fails.

It's not usually a life and death issue so they've been given a pass for decades to pursue their course of issues/but no workable solutions.
