There He Goes Again

I have been saying all along that remaking the middle east was my top priority. I haven't been coy about this.

*I may be proven wrong on (a) and the connections in (b) may not have justified war.
What more has to happen for you to admit you were wrong on (a)?

After the 9/11 commission report yesterday re (b), do you now concede you were wrong? If not, do you think the "connections" (and I use that term loosely) described in it warranted war?

On (c), what other countries ought we invade right now on humanitarian grounds? There is genocide going on in Sudan, a country with many "connections" (in the non-loose sense) to Al Qaeda.

On (d), I'm afraid we agree completely, but for different reasons.
