Brit responds
On Fox News Sunday this morning, the debate (unsurprisingly) turned to the failure of the coalition to turn up weapons of mass destruction. The blindly-left Juan Williams suggested that the administration mislead the public as to the reasons for the war. The ever-patient Brit Hume had this to say:Juan, the problem with this whole idea that there were no weapons and are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq is this, that in order to believe that you also have to believe the following other things:[I love my TiVo]That when the United Nations inspectors left Iraq in 1998, having in hand then a long list of weapons unaccounted for, that Saddam Hussein, who'd refused to account for those weapons or to destroy them by 1998, then took the opportunity in the absence of inspectors to then destoy these weapons that he'd fought so hard to protect. And then, when the UN inspectors finally got back in in the year 2003, he decided it would be a good idea with the greatest military force in history beginning to mass on his border, to refuse to tell the United Nations how he had done that. Now, you can believe that, but I think you probably also will have to believe in the Tooth Fairy and a whole array of other things.
