The Ultimate Justification for the War

Patrick at Electrolite has a hilarious post on the administration’s ever shifting position entitled Weapons of Mass Destruction-Related Program Activites:

This isn’t just moving the goalposts, it’s attaching the goalposts to a booster rocket and shooting them into the Sun. Look, a revitalized space program after all!

Does the failure to find WMD or even active WMD programs harm the case for war? Of course not. As Jordan Kare notes in Patrick’s comment section:
It’s a good thing we invaded Iraq; if we hadn’t, the proof of Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction-related program activities might have come in the form of a reference to a drawing of a mushroom cloud over an American city!

I think that says it all.

Update: You should also take Norbizness' quiz on the subject.

As I once said to Patrick himself, of course the threat was imminent; the imminence of the threat could be explained in under 45 minutes.
