So-- I haven't been following overly closely-- what's the most the media
knows about this 'proof'? As for the question at hand, I can only assume
that Junior's intelligence knows the type of weapon but not the location. OR
perhaps he knows where it WAS, but not where it is now. And probably has
intelligence that disagrees with their documentation.

Anyway, has it been clear what sort of 'proof' we have? Might'nt other
countries be more on our side if they knew? Or, if they DO know, why are we
the only ones who are so eager to go fightin'? (Rhetorical). I'd think other
countries who knew our 'proof' and STILL weren't too worried about it would
be encouraging the US to stop bothering already.


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!


Ah well, let's hope we beat up Saddam before the next election! Good thing
there's a 2-term limit... We'd have to find someone else to pick on
otherwise to get that 3rd term in!

Does Bush have a successor? His brother perhaps?
