CIA investigating whether there EVER were WMDs

[PornoDoggy]

I love how the right tries to spin things. We know they have weapons of mass destruction. We have intelligence that proves it but we can't give it to the Weapons Inspectors because they don't really want to find them. The Iraqis are so fucking good and so fucking sneaky that they issued those weapons of mass destruction to troops that lacked the discipline of a bunch of suburban street-gang wanna-bes, but then took them back and disappeared into the vastness of the countryside and hid them again.

And besides, it's not really about weapons of mass destruction (or won't be until they find some). It's about the oil or it's not about the oil, depending upon who you listen to. It's about the eeeeeeeevil-diktater or it isn't, depending upon the audience being preached to. It's about Isreal or it isn't, depending upon which group is being pandered to. It's really hard to argue with people who don't seem to have a position for longer than ten minutes, and who can change it at will depending upon who they are talking to.

I don't think a whole lot more about the "spread democracy" horseshit that the right is trying to spread, either. IMHO that's every bit as niave as attempting to negotiate with eeeeeeeevil-diktaters (with or without oil reserves). Overwhelming military force and armies of occupation don't have a tremdendously promising record against gurilla forces - and that's essentially what terrorists are.

And JR ... "they seem to have missed the biggest con of the century pulled off by a failed businessman and wannabe farmer from Texas with the speaking skills of a half retarded 3rd grader and the political talent of Mike Tyson" - I couldn't agree more, and have been saying that since November, 2000.
