He can't tell anyone as:
a) We are all scared of the unknown... especially when he talks in hushed
tones........ spooky!
b) It would put the future stream of information at risk - the fact that pretty
soon the whole country will be overrun by his axis-of-war and those sources
will be worthless irrelevant!

Bush on Iraq:
They *may* have WOMD – Bomb ‘em

Bush on N Korea:
They *do* have WOMD and threaten to use them – submit to their blackmail

Bush on Pakistan:
They *do* have WOMD and threaten to use them – make ‘em an ally

Rumsfeld on Iraq:
I’m sure glad I gave SH all those WOMD, as we can now use them as an excuse to
invade!

I'm amazed at the change in opinion/tone in the group. I have noted at least
one convert to the anti-war cause who only a few months ago was ready to bomb
‘em into the stone age…. there is hope!

Does Bush have a successor? His brother perhaps?
