Justify My War

"In defiance of pledges to the United Nations, Iraq has stockpiled biological and chemical weapons, and is rebuilding the facilities used to make more of those weapons."

-President Bush, October 5, 2002

This is precious. It takes considerable brazenness to suggest that a war fought over "stockpiles" of chemical and biological weapons has somehow been vindicated by the discovery of one artillery shell containing a sarin nerve agent.
