Pretending we just didn't know WMDs weren't there
Joshua Micah Marshall deconstructs the mis-information about all the nonexistent iraqi weapons of mass destruction, focusing on President Bush's latest excuse for over-stating Saddam Hussein's threat.
Filling in the blanks here, the argument is that everyone thought Saddam had WMD. So it's not my mistake. It's everyone's mistake.
Now, this is dishonest at a number of levels. But let's just pick one. When it comes to what constitutes a threat, all 'WMD' are not created equal. Mustard gas is close to irrelevant weighed against the threat of nuclear weapons, especially effectively deliverable ones. And on this there was in fact fierce and public disagreement.
