Canadian Cynic

Those hilariously changing standards of evidence

THEN: Despite a total lack of evidence, the Bush administration is absolutely convinced that Saddam Hussein has biological, chemical and reconstituted nuclear weapons and, on the flimsiest of pretexts, launches a disastrous and illegal invasion of Iraq.

NOW: Despite affidavits from the IAEA, military and civilian eyewitnesses and incontrovertible videotape proof, the Bush administration contends that we just don't know what happened to that 380 tons of high explosive and that the jury is still out.

Insert appropriately cynical punchline here.
