Good grief, you really do have an unlimited ability to twist things to
criticize Republicans..... If you at all paid attention to the context of
the discussion, it is clear as to what I am referring to. Someone asked
me why we were searching for WMD's in Iraq if it was unlikely that we could
keep them all out of the hands of the retreating/disappearing Baathists.
I noted that if you justify a war by claiming that country isn't disarming
itself of WMD, and critics of the war argue that that country really didn't
have any WMD, then finding at least a few WMD's is an important part of the
political process of justifying the war - since the US is a republic after
all, and wars have to be justified - even if you prefer not to. :)
