I continue to believe that the media/Kerry campaign late hit on the supposedly missing 380 tons of explosives is going to backfire on them. First, it simply shifts the focus of the electorate away from domestic issues, where Kerry still holds an advantage over Bush, to foreign and defense affairs, where Bush holds the edge.
Second, there seems to be some doubt about the basic facts of the case, including whether the tonnage comes to 380 or just 3.
And third, both The Financial Times and The Washington Times reported today that the Hussein regime, apparently with significant help from a detail of Russians, trucked a bunch of weaponry from the site — including chemical-weapons precursors — into Syria before the invasion.
This looks more like a tar baby for the Left than anything else. Never mind, never mind, now about Christopher Reeve. . .
