Where are the weapons?
Today the President was adamant that Iraq had a weapons program. Apparently the Weapons of Mass Destruction have refused to turn up thus far while Iraq goes through the growing pains of political chaos following its toppled regime. If no weapons are found things could get a bit dicey for the President's reelection campaign. By campaign time, however, the new FCC ruling that further deregulates media ownership could ensure that all TV stations are owned by the same entity.
Let's face it, having one media outlet would certainly make things easier. For instance one media outlet could cling to the party line that the president never insisted that there were WMDs in Iraq, just that Iraq had a program.
If the weapons are found, it all becomes a moot point. If the weapons are not found, the Democrats will have received a golden opportunity in the 2004 election, especially if the administration fudged the evidence. Don't count on the Democrats to actually use it to their advantage, however, in case the weapons do turn up at some point.
