A splendid opportunity

Molly Ivins proposes what’s definitely the most entertaining answer yet to the question I posed here a few days ago:
If there are no WMDs, I would seriously advise this administration NOT to try to spin its way out of the problem. Bad idea. Will not fly. There’s plenty of evidence that we believed in the WMDs — took along chemical suits, antidotes, etc. So if there are no WMDs, it’s time for a blame-game witchhunt. I really hate those things, but someone needs to go around roaring, “WHOSE FAULT WAS THIS?!” It’s a splendid opportunity to fire half the CIA, which has needed to be done for years anyway. Let it be a lesson to all intelligence analysts not to let political pressure sway them on evidence.
