Compare and Contrast: Rathergate vs. WMD. A fun filled table comparing the story of nothing and the story of true merit. This is especially fun because now the search for Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction has officially ended.
WASHINGTON - The White House acknowledged Wednesday that its hunt for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction — a two-year search costing millions of dollars — has closed down without finding the stockpiles that President Bush cited as a justification for overthrowing Saddam Hussein.So again: the United States rushes to war with one of its main claims based on bad information from questionable sources, and CBS rushes to air with a story about the president based on information from questionable sources. Now - one of these stories told (each based on bad document and sources) has proven to be completely false. And it's not the one that's led to the deaths of over a thousand American servicemen and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians.
So when do the fired CBS employees get their Presidential Medals of Honor?
