Well, just in time to make my point the
Des Moines Register files a tough report on Thompson suggesting
he still believes Saddam had WMD's at the start of the Iraq War.
(The article also briefly indicates that Thompson's variation on
the marriage amendment may not satisfy social conservatives.) From
the actual quotes from Thompson it's not clear precisely what
Thompson is saying (that he actually had WMD's? that he had the
intent to acquire weapons but possession of the actual weapons were
not relevant?) but the story --from a local reporter -- is not
favorable and will no doubt fuel a "here we go again" response from
his opponents.
And this
report came earlier today in the Register.(H/T First
