...ridiculous waste of money. Bush's State of the Union address seemed, even to sympathetic Republicans, to have been mailed in, with the vision of a grocery list. His popularity numbers dropped after he gave it. Next came the admission by the Administration's handpicked weapons hunter, David Kay, that after hundreds of interviews and months of hunting, we had not found any weapon stockpiles after all. Nor was the link between Saddam and al-Qaeda ever proved. Meanwhile, that much vaunted Medicare bill, which deficit hawks already found impossibly expensive at $400 billion, will probably cost an additional...
...Senators who voted to authorize a war because of warnings that now appear to have been overdrawn. Senators from both parties are so disturbed by the faulty intelligence--and concerned about their own vulnerability--that they are considering going into a closed session to discuss the implications of Kay's findings, a response usually used only when national security is at stake.

Ten more Americans were killed there last week, and eight more in Afghanistan, which makes the President's Merrimack assertion of success in the war on terrorism--"Now we're marching to peace ... now we're secure in the peace"--seem insensitive in the extreme. David Kay, the President's hand-picked weapons inspector, said there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The economy remains iffy. The budget deficit is exploding. Even Rush Limbaugh had unkind words last week about the Bush spending spree...
