Tori Clarke takes on Krugman on NYT letters page.
And in true Thug Cabal style, she concludes that since Krugman is skeptical of WMD claims, he's a Saddam-lover. Such is life in the black-and-white, zero-nuance world of this administration.
Paul Krugman (column, June 3) suggests that the United States government was disingenuous about the intelligence available regarding Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. Clearly, he prefers placing his trust in Saddam Hussein rather than in United States officials who acted in good faith on the best information available.Before the war, critics maintained that United Nations inspectors would need months to years to search for evidence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Yet less than two months after the war, these same critics rush to judgment, unwilling to give coalition forces time to find weapons that Saddam Hussein had years to hide.
The threat posed by Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction is a documented fact. It is far too early to make any judgments. We have an extensive effort under way. Let's allow our team to finish the job before drawing conclusions.

Like The Man said: you're either with us or you're with the Terrorists.
There is no middle ground. There are no shades of gray. We live in a world of Black & White, Good & Evil, Us vs Them.
Moral absolutism is the mark of the Patriot; moral relativism the mark of the Traitor. Which side are YOU on?

Whoa Tori, you wouldn't let the UN inspectors and international community have extra time to find them and now you want us to give you time to find them! What hypocrisy! Although that is so par for the course! How many days did they give the UN inspectors, I think I read 110 days or so...we should give US same amount of time...I think we are up to day 78 or so.
Second, If we are having trouble finding them and securing them Tori(assuming they actually exist) then that means right now that ANYONE including terrorist might have already found them! Isn't this the exact same thing we were hoping to prevent by waging war against Iraq!
Lastly,Either way I see it they are either lying(wmd's never existed) or they are incompetent( haven't found and secured them). It's a lose-lose situation for Bushco!

Wrong, couldntresist, it's a lose-lose situation for us.

Metropolitan99,
You are absolutely correct! There really are no winners in this situation...just got caught up in wishful thinking from either of these two scenarios that Bush would actually suffer more than the people he rules. I guess I had an out of body experience when I was writing it, thanks for bringing me back to reality :(

Anytime, bro.

Hmmmmmmmm... I thought the Junta recently said that they are not even trying to look for WMD any more. Didn't they say they pulled the team thar was specifically set up to look for them?
I think the more important question here is: is Tori gearing up to take over Ari Fork Tongue's job? At least this way, when she sends in a letter to the editor, she doesn't have to go in front of the camera and appear as though she believes the script...
