Warbloggers vs. the facts

Hmm. Who has picked up the news that we've stopped searching for WMDs because we now acknowledge that they weren't there? Instapundit? Nope. But we do find out about that Constitutional crisis known as "Rathergate" and even about that old Sandy Berger chestnut. Powerlineblog? Nope. But you can get all your Rathergate news there, too. Andrew Sullivan?
We can and should have debates about whether we ever had enough troops to do what we needed to do after initial victory. I'd say it's obvious that Shinseki was correct. Should we have gone to war under the circumstances then prevailing? Probably not. Given the lack of urgency with regard to Saddam's WMDs (yes, this is hindsight, but so is all of this), we obviously should have waited.
Little Green Footballs? Yep. But of course, commenters mention that we're just not looking in the right place. We need to look in Syria. Riiiiight. Syria. I guess they won't be satisfied until we overthrow every available hostile Muslim Baathist dictatorship and create another jihadist haven-cum-US military quagmire. Hooray. Here's the appropriate thread on Fark.
