Sad

It's sad that supporters of the Bush Administration's Iraq war are still unable to come to grips with the facts. As I see it, supporters of the war have never come to grips with the facts that there are no WMD in Iraq, and there were none. That the inspectors, who were so roundly criticized by the administration prior to the war, were finding no WMD because there were none. That the administration was hellbent on war before ever going to the UN, before ever agreeing to the inspectors going back in; and that the administration had the inspectors pulled because their failure to find WMD was increasingly undermining the rationale for the war that the administration had already decided would happen. That the admininistration thought little about the post-war problems of rebuilding Iraq; and so on.

A majority of the American people now believe the war was a mistake. It was. That much is clear. But supporters of the war will not admit as much, and that is just, well, sad.

BTW, Hitchens may be the worst. The only thing worse than a person who is unable to admit that they were wrong is, well, an angry, bitter person unable to admit that they were wrong.

BBTW, a nice point on the Dick Durbin flap in today's Post.
