Do you expect us to take seriously the neocons' wishful thinking that Saddam's arsenal really, really does exists, we jest haven't found it yet? Maybe if we shut our eyes and believe in Saddam's WMDs hard enough, they will materialize before us.

This piece is presents the same nonsense you posted from The Weekly Standard several weeks ago and it's no better from the pen of John O'Sullivan than from that of William Kristol. In fact, as pointed out at that time, it's just an updated version of Rumsfeld's "The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." At least Rumsfeld is witty and original.

You've got as much chance of finding Saddam's arsenal as you have of finding the Fountain of Youth. If Mr. O'Sullivan thinks otherwise, he should be given a spade, put on the next plane to Baghdad and told to start looking.

Oh, yes, and one more thing: Bush and Blair were fibbing. They knew very well Saddam wasn't an immediate threat.
