Mr. Bush is in trouble....

[ravencallscrows]

Now even conservative stalwarts like Pat Buchanan are savaging the President over his credibility gap.

Excerpting the final two paragraphs, for those who don't wish to read the whole article:

For there is something strange here. If Saddam had these weapons, why did he not surrender them to save himself? If he did not give them up because he intended to use them on us, why did he not use them on us? And if they were destroyed before the war, why did he not simply show us where, and thereby save himself, his family and his regime?

Last fall, Congress abdicated, surrendered its war-making power to a president who demanded that Congress yield it up. If Congress wishes to redeem itself, it should unearth the truth about why we went to war. Was the official explanation the truth, or was it political cover for an American imperial war?
