Smothering Irony To Death
(posted by Daniel Koffler)
Speaking of Iraq, could someone help me figure out whether a) Michael Ledeen does not believe that World Net Daily is a credible news source, that it is not plausible to believe Saddam had WMD stockpiles that were smuggled out of the country just before the invasion, and therefore that this Corner post is a tongue-in-cheek put down of conspiracy theorists in his own camp, or b) the opposite of all the above. On the one hand, such madness as the latter option is hardly inconsistent with Ledeen’s history. On the other hand, he does display enough intellectual scruples to suggest he would know that at this late date, snarking about the obviousness of the hidden Iraqi WMD in Syria just looks batshit to all of us non-truthers. I am baffled.
