In the words of Senator Barbara Boxer, the Democrats have said "enough is enough" when it comes to the Iraq war. Democrats forced the Senate into a closed session yesterday, demanding the Intelligence Committee move forward with its investigation into how the Bush administration handled prewar intelligence about Iraq's suspected weapons programs. Better late than never...

Note the word "suspected." Newsflash: Iraq didn't have any weapons of mass destruction! But in a poll taken as late as FEBRUARY 2005, 36 percent of Americans still believed that Iraq had WMDs when the United States invaded. Apparently, 36 percent of Americans live under a rock. Sad.
