What are the right-wing broadcasters saying about the no WMD report?
I don't watch them, so if any brave soul who ventures into their dark abyss wishes to summarize what they heard, I would be most beholden.

Hannity?
Limbaugh?
Sullivan?
Coulter?

How good are they at eating crow pie?

1. I was listening
to BBC radio as I was falling asleep last night, and they were interviewing Cliff May. http://www.defenddemocracy.org/

He never got off message. Still talking about the intent(of Iraq and other countries), and how Hussein was going to start WMD programs as soon as nobody was looking, and the Oil-for-Food story, all intelligence agencies thought Iraq had weapons, some people just don't get what this administration is trying to do, blah, blah, blah.

If you expect them to stop, you're insane.

2. I'm going to hazard a guess
that if they discuss this issue at all, it will be to reiterate that Hussein had weapons in the past and had used them. Of course, they won't mention that when he used them, he was our buddy and the Reagan administration did nothing to stop him. Quite the opposite. Plus, they'll mention how badly the CIA reported the intelligence. They'll leave out that the CIA warned the Bush administration not to miscontrue the intelligence. They'll leave out that the Bush administration cherry-picked the intelligence for their purpose, which was to invade Iraq. That plan was ready before 9-11.
Fortunately for the rightwing radio talkers, their audience is ill-informed and easily led. These are not independent, thinking Americans. These are easily manipulated sheep.
So, the rightwing bought-and-paid-for talk show hosts have nothing to worry about...Kool-Aid has been distributed and consumed.

3. Let's get past this and move on?
while feeling secretly relieved that it could be stalled til after the election...not like Kerry could make any political hay with it...

4. No doubt it will be another Bush triumph.
I mean, come on. Do you really have any doubt? It will have been thanks to American vigelance that Hussein (the brutal tyrant dictator) was unable to restart his WMD programs. No thanks to the UN that did nothing. No thanks to the rest of the world, in those funny-speaking European countries that wanted to sit back and relax. It was American that stopped this evil Hussein regime from acquiring deadly weapons, and Operation Iraqi Freedom was just us finishing the job once and for all.

And now, if you will excuse me, I must go hit myself upside the head.

6. Message to all who posted so far:
Very scary, but I think you've all hit on the right-wing talking points:

sidestep, deny, spin, ignore negatives, reinforce positives...

But, never, never accept you made a mistake.

8. I haven't heard any of them but my guess is that
the gop talking points will be..."The wmd's were moved to Syria prior to the war." Same thing Joe Lieberman said yesterday.
