Not getting enough coverage:

On Monday president Bush said, "knowing what I know today, we still would have gone on into Iraq."

So it really doesn't matter if it's true that:

• "The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa"
• "Saddam Hussein is a threat to America. He's a threat to our friends. He's a man who said he wouldn't have weapons of mass destruction, yet he has them."
• "We know he's got ties with al Qaeda."

We read in the Los Angeles Times:

"Statements like this by the president only lend credence to the charges that he was determined to attack, no matter what," [political analyst Charlie] Cook said.

No kidding.

As far as we could tell, only the Los Angeles Times gave the story front-page coverage (it was just above the fold). Why haven't other newspapers done the same?
