The supposed overestimate was, in reality, part of a wider underestimate. Libya and Iran turned out to be even more dangerous than we had thought, and the A.Q. Khan network of "Nukes 'R' Us" even more widespread. But now Iraq can be certified as disarmed, instead of wishfully assumed to be so, Libya's fissile materials are all under lock and key in Oak Ridge, Tenn., and the traces "walked back" from Qaddafi's capitulation helped expose A.Q. Khan. Of course, we could always have left Iraq alone, and brought nearer the day when the charming Qusai could have called for Dr. Obeidi and said: "That barrel of yours. It's time to dig it up."

Just a sampler from the Slate book review. Let's hope the Bush campaign can make good use of this information and line of reasoning over the next few weeks because it very effectively puts the lie to the "Wrong war, wrong place, wrong time" BS. For that reason alone, sadly, I doubt the mainstream media will pick up on it.

Thanks for the reference, Tyger.
