The electoral safety of Blair may be in question. The candidate who can beat Bush in 2004 hasn't been born yet. I don't claim to be nearly as smart as some of you apparently are but I am literate - unless you are reading different news than what I am seeing (below) I don't see where you are getting most of you fire and brimstone from.

WASHINGTON — Senior Defense Department officials intend to declassify and release a defense intelligence report from last September that said agents could not prove Iraq had ongoing chemical or biological weapons facilities, officials told Fox News on Friday.
The report could be released as early as this weekend.
The classified report, revealed to senators on Friday, was completed as the administration stepped up efforts to persuade the United Nations that Iraq's weapons programs were a menace and the country should be disarmed immediately.
Critics say the findings add fuel to claims that the Bush administration hyped the menacing nature of Iraq to justify war.
An official said Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld (search) approved the release of the report, and the Pentagon is now working out how to deal with photographs and other aspects of the report that might suggest how the United States obtained some of the information.
"Part of this problem is our obsession with classification," the official said.
Officials say the text of the report is not regarded as controversial and will support U.S. contentions that a body of evidence existed supporting U.S. assertions that Iraq's chemical and biological weapons programs were real.
"We want to get it out because it will show there was plenty of evidence to suggest they had weapons," a senior official told Fox News. "It refers to intelligence evidence that the Iraqis were moving things around in preparation for a coming war. You don't move things around and disperse them if you don't have them."
