No WMD's Hurts Credibility?

No WMD's Hurts Credibility?

"The Bush administration's inability to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq -- after public statements declaring an imminent threat posed by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein -- has begun to harm the credibility abroad of the United States and of American intelligence, according to foreign policy experts in both parties."

So say's today's Washington Post. To which I answer, with whom? German intelligence believed that Saddam already had the bomb. The French and Russians had to be the most surprised, considering all the help they had given to Saddam's WMD program.

I'll never forget the European Union meeting at which British Foreign minister Jack Straw declared to a room full of his peers from other countries, the intelligence service of every country in the EU knows that Saddam had nuclear weapons, and not one minister contradicted him.

If we were wrong, then all of them were wrong too. Their balls were just smaller.
