Now that NBC News has exposed as a fraud the combined efforts of the UN, The New York Times and the Kerry campaign to criticize President Bush over the "missing" explosives in Iraq, it can only be a matter of time until Josh Marshall starts muttering dark thoughts about Karl Rove setting—up a trap.

Meanwhile, having sputtered on about President Bush being "incompetent," John F. Kerry looks fairly stupid and, well, incompetent himself. Does the American public really want as presidnet a man who hurls unjustified accusations based on press reports?
