War justification drift....
While his defenders are still talking about the weapons of mass destruction that they think will be found, President Makes It Up As He Goes Along is now talking about weapons programs. Oh.
Despite a lack of evidence, President Bush insisted Monday that Baghdad had a program to manufacture weapons of mass destruction, seeking to rebut critics who charge his administration doctored evidence to justify an invasion of Iraq.
“IRAQ HAD A weapons program,” Bush said. “Intelligence throughout the decade shows they had a weapons program,” Bush told reporters during a meeting of his Cabinet. “I am absolutely convinced that with time, we’ll find out they did have a weapons program.”
Weeks of searches in Iraq by military experts have not validated the administration’s portrayal of Iraq’s cache of weapons. Alleged stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons have not turned up, nor has significant evidence of a nuclear weapons program.
Bush was asked whether American credibility was on the line in the hunt for illicit weapons. In answering, he pointed to the outcome of the war, not the weapons search.
“The credibility of this country is based upon our strong desire to make the world more peaceful, and the world is now more peaceful after our decision,” he said.
At which point the reporter should have pointed out that the President didn't answer the question.
Yeah. That'll happen.
Meanwhile the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee is.....well, let him tell it.
Sen. Pat Roberts, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said a congressional investigation of how intelligence was used in the run-up to the war is premature. “There’s a little tad bit of politics being played here,” Roberts, R-Kan., told CNN’s “Late Edition.” “I think it’s very, very counterproductive.”
That's Pat Roberts over there in the corner of the room with his fingers in his ears going "la-la-la-la-la-la I don't hear anything la-la-la-la-la-la"
