Almost seemed to be in a state of panic while talking to Tom Brokaw, insisting that a lot has changed since three months ago when the Congress voted to authorize the president to use force if necessary. I will grant Kennedy that North Korea’s flare up is a new development, but the rest of his examples were nonsense. Al Quaeda is still active, he said. Nothing new there. Osama Bin Laden may be alive, he insisted. Well, Osama may have been alive three months ago. And, he noted there are inspectors in Iraq now. That’s true. But that’s irrelevent since the UN resolution says that Iraq is in breach and must prove otherwise. Well, Iraq was in breach three months ago and it still is — and that’s the point; Iraq is still in breach. Hence he failed his last chance.
