If At First You Don't Succeed

The Bush Administration hasn't given up the hunt for banned weapons in Iraq, despite David Kay's insistence that "...most others at the working level recognized the correctness of the assessment that those weapons don't exist."

Kay's replacement, Charles Duelfer, in announcing that the hunt continues, argues that, "We do not know whether Saddam was concealing [weapons of mass destruction] or planning to resume production once sanctions were lifted."

Not to be outdone, John "The kind of man with whom I would want to stand at Armageddon, if it should be my lot to be on hand for what is forecast to be the final battle between good and evil in this world" Bolton has opened his mouth again, now warning that Cuba "remains a terrorist and [biological weapons] threat to the United States."

For the record Cuba's and Iraq's combined 2001 military expenditures totted up to $2.2 Billion dollars -- about $584 Billion fewer than the United States plans to spend on its military for fiscal year 2005.

Hey, here's an idea: let's pre-emptively invade Grenada again. Better safe than sorry, right?
