Over at Glenn Greenwald’s place, Barbara O’Brien reminds everyone why the world was so certain that Saddam had WMDs: because Reagan and Bush I gave them to him. Yep, when Donnie Rumsfeld met with Saddam he had more than a pair of golden spurs in his saddlebags.

If the ‘publicans continue, against all common sense, to run on the war, how about a lefty blogswarm of those photos of Rummy shaking hands with Saddam? Can’t hurt; might help.
The people who would change their mind, have. The MSM needs to get involved so that people realize what a pack of liars the Republicans are.
