Uhhh, when will the bs stop?

From the Guardian:

Intelligence sources, policy makers and weapons inspectors familiar with the details of the hunt for WMD told The Observer it was widely known that Iraq had no WMD within three weeks of Baghdad falling, despite the assertions of senior Bush administration figures and the Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
As Jim Henley notes:
The official hawks, like bad dope dealers, got too fond of their own product. They wanted it to be true and convinced themselves of their desires.
Most of us have been taught that honesty is a good thing and will bring good results in life. The republicans still have time to nominate a candidate who has learned this lesson.
