I don't think the case is weak at all, tallman. Last Sunday when Cheney was confronted with some tough questions, he went backwards in time citing evidence that Hussein sought to aquire nuclear weapons over a decade ago, as if that had any bearing on Hussein's current WMD status and the need to go to war. There was no conclusive evidence of either a nuclear weapon OR a nuclear weapons program. In EITHER case, Cheney "misspoke" (read: deceived, mislead, LIED). What you are essentially saying is, "No, Four, he didn't lie about this; he lied about that." And by the way, what was the headline on all the papers after the first Russert interview: "We Believe He Has in Fact Reconstituted Nuclear Weapons." This is something the administration gets away with time and time again. Remember how many times we actually "found" WMD in Iraq? That was Page A1. The next day, the retraction was in small print on page D22.
