The Trigger?

The Independent wonders if the discovery of empty Iraqi warheads will be the trigger for war. The answer is probably no, in my estimation, but it all depends on how desperate Bush is for a pretext. Either way, in a sane world, this cannot be used to justify a full-fledged assault by the US, even if the UN signs on.

Whether we live in a sane world, then, is the ultimate question.

Update: Slate has more on the "smoking warhead." William Rivers Pitt begs CNN to provide its viewers with "facts" about the warhead, and not "overheated innuendo."
