BUSH SUPPORTERS GET (MORE) DESPERATE

Yglesias has his best comment in months on the sarin discovery: "Besides, the mere fact that the right wing wants to talk about an artillery shell filled with nerve gas is the clearest sign of desperation."

Bingo, the discovery of WMDs -- weapons of minimal destruction -- marks another pathetic attempt to justify an invasion. Do Americans really buy these shifting excuses (liberation, democratization, weapons, anticipatory defense, etc)? The only mystery remaining is why observable support for the Bush regime still exists in such numbers.
