Good News from the Iraq War

The only good thing to come out of the war in Iraq is this:

President George W. Bush acknowledged on Monday that mistaken intelligence on Saddam Hussein's weapons program makes it more difficult to persuade the public that Iran's nuclear program poses a threat.

Speaking at a White House news conference, Bush said that when the United States tries to make its case on Iran, people will say "Well, the intelligence failed in Iraq; therefore, how can we can trust the intelligence in Iran?"

Then again, Bush also said, of the Iran situation, "Of course we want this to be solved diplomatically . . . ." Of course you do. We all believe that. We also all believe in Santa Claus.
