The parameter of making WMD the entire fulcrum of the Iraq War has been set up by the Left, as the last desperate weapon in its attempts to bring Bush down. If it wasn't WMD, it would have been something else that didn't pan out exactly as predicted.

That MSNBC is trying to create the stark equivalence "No WMD = Dead Bush" is not surprising. Whether it will work or not remains to be seen.

As for Iran, the IAEA will be reporting on their nuclear program on Monday. I expect the U.N., as usual, to cut Iran a lot of slack, but I'm willing to wait and see. Five years from now, when Iran is brandishing its nuclear warheads in defiance of all agreements (see also: North Korea), who's going to remember whose fault it was?

With luck, moderates will take control in that country and render the point moot. One can hope.
