It is not yet clear how much energy George Bush is going to invest in this counter-attack, but I submit that he has little to lose and much to gain. It offers a devastating segway into a discussion of the perfidy and incompetence demonstrated by the UN, the possibility that during the long wrangling and last chance inspection effort Saddam exported his WMD program, or secreted it somewhere. More importantly it bolsters the thesis that John Kerry is unfit for command, because he's willing to employ bad information and even falsehood in order to win an election, even if it undermines the US war effort. This could be the opportunity that leads to an essential and decisive Bush victory.
