Chicago Tribune | Bush faces credibility showdown

The failure to find those infernal weapons, however, doesn't seem to have changed any hawkish minds. Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer ridiculed the doubters even after the regime fell. On April 22, he said that chief UN weapons inspector Hans Blix "had five months to find weapons. He found nothing. We've had five weeks. Come back to me in five months. If we haven't found any, we will have a credibility problem."

That was six months ago, and Krauthammer can claim vindication: The administration and its supporters do have a credibility problem.
