Moore is entertaining, kinda like that beacon of The Liberal Media, Rush
Limbaugh. And in the same way. ;-)
Not that Moore's veracity is the question here, rather that there are those in
the media already questioning Bush (though Scheer and Moore were doing that from
the word go).

What was the last evidence I heard? There is no proof that they actually had
produced anything. Bush is claiming them as proof, but virtually no one else is
trumpeting them as the smoking gun. They all understand that the threat the
Bush administration painted Saddam as has not been justified by the search so
far.

Considering the building noise, it's definitely not mute. Nor is it moot. It
calls into question the motives of the Bush administration, their honesty and
integrity, their accuracy, regardless of "winning" the war. Good luck getting a
blank check like he did from congress again if he can't show better evidence
than he has. This was supposed to be an emminent threat. I feel more
threatened now, to be quite honest. The only thing that could salvage the
situation is for Iraq to become a better place for all concerned - I don't have
any great confidence that Bush is the man to accomplish that, but perhaps I'm
wrong on that. Larry has said it before: Bush might win the war, but he's going
to lose the peace (apologies to Lar+++ if I botched that).
