Josh Marshall gets all snarky
Target: that toothless old whore William Safire:
I wonder, as soon as the new Iraqi President imposes martial law and throws out the foreign press, whether we'll start "finding" more stuff?
There's a body of sociological literature which shows that when the world does not come to an end on the day prescribed by this or that messianic cult, the cult usually does not fall apart. Rather, their belief only tends to intensify to still greater levels. Safire seems to be an example of the same phenomenon only applied to Iraqi WMD cult.
