Never believe Kristol, even when he agrees with you. Always find another source. That's what I do.

Mr. Kristol wants nothing better than to divide Republicans and embarass the President. If he had been sure Bush would have invaded Iraq, he wouldn't have supported it. He accidentally, due to his misreading of the President, found himself on the same side.

Now he is doing his best to cause mischief, which is his usual goal. If Kristol is echoing your ill-founded suspicion that there are no WMD's, feel free to believe him and trumpet it everywhere. I, myself, wouldn't be so confident of his being correct.

In this case, he was misquoted by Limbacher.

Kristol has his faults, but from the actual quotes, he was only raising a possibility. I've found the Weekly Standard's foreign policy to be pretty much on target, particularly after 9/11, and the maneuverings in the UN probably DID give Saddam enough time to ditch a portion of the evidence or to pass stuff along.

His comments were more along the lines of, "Bush and Blair made an honest mistake, assuming the worst-case scenario, which one cannot blame leaders for making after 9/11."

This article, by the way, renders his concerns moot in a big way, if you want my opinion. We've got materials that could be used in a dirty bomb. We have what is quite probably the basis for a nuclear weapons program.

Well we could go to the PNAC of which it seems half this administration came from. You know Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Powell, Cheney, and pals? Oh, I'm sorry, Kristol heads that up too!!

So to summarize, to accept this administration's explanation of WMDs, we have to deny the PNAC (of which many in the administration belonged to under the same leadership of Kristol, throw the CIA under the bus, along with even more intelligence reports from Great Britain, and take the administration's word and National Review's word for it?

Never? What did the guy ever do to you?

Where are the WMD's?
