US credibility at stake
'It now appears that the so-called "clear and present danger" of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, or WMD, did not exist and that French and German critics were correctly skeptical of the US argument for the use of force.

'The US task force directing the search for Iraq's WMD likely will return home next month without discovering chemical, biological or nuclear materials. This failure could do great harm to the credibility of the Bush administration and the integrity of the US intelligence community. {Ed.: WHAT credibility? The Bushies have already PISSED IT AWAY.}

'If the claims of president Bush, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and CIA Director George J. Tenet to justify the war were vastly exaggerated or simply false, there will be significant consequences.' - Melvin A. Goodman, senior fellow at the Center for International Policy in Washington and former senior analyst at the CIA.

He's so naive.
