BRING HIM BACK?

National House of Waffles (MAUREEN DOWD, July 13, 2003, NY Times)
Asked if he regretted using the Niger claim, Mr. Bush replied: "There is no doubt in my mind that Saddam Hussein was a threat to world peace. And there's no doubt in my mind that the United States, along with allies and friends, did the right thing in removing him from power. And there's no doubt in my mind, when it's all said and done, the facts will show the world the truth."

I'm happy that Mr. Bush's mental landscape is so cloudless. But it is our doubts he needs to assuage.

Okay, we can get that people didn't want to go to war and think the administration lied and the post-war's a mess...yadda, yadda, yadda... But can she really be saying she doubts that removing Saddam from power was a good thing? We may not have found much WMD yet, but haven't we found enough mass graves, misery, and degradation to still those doubts? Posted by Orrin Judd at July 13, 2003 6:26 AM
