As if anyone needs more reasons to just dig on Juan Cole, just caught
this gem:
Kay did not find "the capacity to produce weapons" if by that is meant factories and laboratories set up to begin production. There are no such factories or laboratories. If Bush means that the Iraqis have the capacity to produce chemical weapons, well, sure. All societies do. These are all weasel words of the most contemptible sort.
I saw "weasel words", which made me think of "ferret face", which is of course Frank Burns' nickname on M*A*S*H. And then it hit me, his veneer of authority, his core incompetence, his delight in dishing out punishments and getting "payback"...
Am I the only one who missed that we've been living through the Frank Burns Presidency?
