Daddy, make a picture

From yesterday’s New York Times, this is today’s required reading.

A brief quote…

It’s long past time for this administration to be held accountable. Over the last two years we’ve become accustomed to the pattern. Each time the administration comes up with another whopper, partisan supporters ? a group that includes a large segment of the news media ? obediently insist that black is white and up is down. Meanwhile the “liberal” media report only that some people say that black is black and up is up. And some Democratic politicians offer the administration invaluable cover by making excuses and playing down the extent of the lies.

I’ve believed all along in my gut that this war had nothing to do with WMDs but with extending American power abroad and shedding whatever was left of the Viet Nam syndrome in American foreign policy. Because those excuses made me sick to my stomach, I could only hope that we would find some WMDs so we could say to the world ‘See, we were right, he was a danger to world peace.’

Unfortunately we don’t even get an excuse for this war.
