...breezy words by U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld last week--"It is also possible that [the Iraqis] decided they would destroy [their WMD] prior to a conflict"--have pulled the rug from under Blair's argument and caused a wave of anti-Blair commentaries. While Bush freely tossed out multiple arguments for war, including alleged Iraqi links with al-Qaeda and the righteousness of changing an "evil" regime, by Blair's tight logic, no WMD meant no war could be legitimate.

...inevitable effort to assign blame, some ORHA staff members criticize the Pentagon's top brass for America's postwar effort. In Washington too, some insiders grumble that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his allies made a critical error by not--as the military saying goes--hoping for the best while planning for the worst.

Judging from their blithely cynical and mordantly libidinous 1970s songbook, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker were guys who would wait until the Eagles checked out of the Chateau Marmont so they could rush in and snort what was left on Glenn Frey's coffee table. Then they would go to a bar and talk about hitting on high school girls...
...Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele showed refreshing honesty in their reporting on the history of America's oil-driven meddling in Middle East politics [BUSINESS, May 19]. If you had run this as a cover story three months ago, you could have helped many naive Americans see the real motive behind the Bush Administration's war on Iraq: to colonize the country that has the potential to become the world's largest oil producer. I applaud you for reporting that the U.S. has created its own problems and enemies in the Middle East through decades of shortsighted, immoral...
