Yes, because a UN weapons inspector says something, that makes it true.
That's the same bunch that includes members who tipped off the Iraqis that
inspections were about to happen so that they could shift stuff around.

You know, for someone who said "I Have No Intention of Debating Any of
This...", he sure is talking a lot... but he's right, he's not debating,
he's just repeating "this war is about oil" over and over in hopes that
eventually everyone believes it.
This war isn't about oil. The Bush crowd doesn't think that big. There is no
Grand Conspiracy to Take Over the World, starting with our civil liberties.
That's not the way it works. This war is about stupidity and not thinking
through what Jefferson said. This is Death by a Thousand Cuts.
And those who go around ranting about Halliburton, Enron and Grand
Conspiracies actually do those working for freedom a disservice, because
they look so foolish doing so that it undercuts the serious message that
Ashcroft (and his bunch) actually ARE out there undermining liberty. Not
because he's Evil... just because he's Stupid. And that undermining's a bad
thing. The facts are damning enough as it is without having to involve the
Illluminati and Orbital Mind Control Lasers...
But when you do it lets the other guys win. Never ascribe to malice what can
be sufficiently explained by stupidity.
