WMDs, Miers, and Atheists

President Bush and the administration have been under fire for going to war with Iraq under the primary premise of potential WMDs. No WMDs have been found, which has caused serious debate about whether we should have gone in the first place. In truth, though you will never here the MSM say it, we acted on the best intelligence we had at that moment... but that hasn't curbed the political damage.

Now to Miers. Let's take a little forethought here and consider: what if Miers gets on the stand and knocks it out of the park? Let's face it, as Podhoretz and other have pointed out, the bar is set pretty low. (note: this White House is the master of the expectations game, but I don't think this was planned). If Miers shows some decent prowess in front of the committee, the anti-Miers crowd could be severely damaged. Even if they claim "we acted on the best intelligence" (or in this case the lack of intelligence) they will have some serious humble pie.

Taking the old adage against athiests... if you believe there's a God and it turns out there isn't, no love lost. But if you deny the existence of God and it turns out He does exist... you might be in trouble.

Doesn't it make most sense to give her the benefit of the doubt?

If you can't tell, I am slowly leaning to support Miers (after much consternation). Nod to Beldar.
