Well, color me surprised. Here's a snippet from the Mefi comments:

Wow - that the Washington Times is giving space to this sort of argument just sort of blows me away. I actually had a die-hard neocon type admit to me the other day: "Iraq is a pile of shit."

Even the right is backing away from this mess.

But, did the fourth graf of the Times piece seem gratuitous - as if it were shoehorned in there after the fact, possibly not by the author himself but by an ideologically-motivated editor?

President Bush made clear Sunday the U.S. was justified in toppling Saddam irrespective of elusive WMDs.
