Maureen Dowd interview

Blogs have made my life difficult, because with everyone trying to have an opinion, it's hard to think of anything original to say when you have to wait three days for your column to be published. It's like now we're in a whole nation of opinion writers, so what makes yours special? You have to work even harder.

Is it true?

At the corner they're talking about illegal immigration being a key policy issue for potential Republican candidates. Immigration is one of my hot buttons. I don't believe there is such a thing as illegal immigration or at least there shouldn't be. Europeans didn't ask if we could move here. We just took it. Same should go for anyone who wants to live here now or any time in the future. Although I have to admit i'd love to see the Republicans split over the issue of immigration.

Bill Clinton calls Iraq 'big mistake'

"The mistake that they made is that when they kicked out Saddam, they decided to dismantle the whole authority structure of Iraq. ... We never sent enough troops and didn't have enough troops to control or seal the borders,"

A Failure of Strategy

in order to appease Colin Powell and/or Tony Blair, the administration eventually found itself at the UN, sponsoring resolutions and offering ultimata. Thus, the ready-made preemption/prevention morass got dragged into yet another idea -- coercive diplomacy, where threats of war are intended to produce not war, but compliance with demands. Unfortunately for Bush, Saddam unexpectedly wound up substantially complying with his demands and inspectors entered the country. It was here that we got the very most egregious dissembling about weapons of mass destruction. Inspectors were on the ground, not finding weapons, debunking certain specific administration claims, and asking the US for the rest of the evidence to substantiate all the big talk.

The hawks chose to portray this situation as proof that inspections "weren't working" because the (obviously incompetent) inspectors were failing to find the WMD facilities that "everyone knew" were there.
