"Official: No WMD stockpiles in Iraq" (Yeah, no shit.)
http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/10/06/iraq.wmd.report.ap/index.html

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Contradicting the main argument for a war that has cost more than 1,000 American lives, the top U.S. arms inspector reported Wednesday that he found no evidence that Iraq produced any weapons of mass destruction after 1991. He also concluded that Saddam Hussein's weapons capability weakened during a dozen years of U.N. sanctions before the U.S. invasion last year."

2. Hey, rubber bands are no joking matter.
One could easily lose an eye.

3. So, how was he supposed to "disarm"?
G. Bush, from Debate #1:

Saddam Hussein had no intention of disarming. Why should he? He had 16 other resolutions and nothing took place. As a matter of fact, my opponent talks about inspectors. The facts are that he was systematically deceiving the inspectors.

5. Yeah- we all looked at each other here and went "huh?".
Apparently, Hussein had disarmed and was cooperating. Remember that enormous collection of documents they offered as proof that they had no WMDs? The documents Bush and his crooks disregarded?

Seems to me like that line was just Bush repeating the old lie.

9. Exactly what people were asking in early 2003
After listening to weapons inspectors say time and time again that SH did not have the capability. How do you turn over what you don't have? Damned if you do,damned if you don't--and thats the exact corner that Bush wanted SH in so he could invade.

Ok really,when do the GD War crimes against these thugs begin??

8. Hell
I had a pretty fair understanding of that before the war even started. I think anyone who actually reads up on such issues did.

10. Bet your ass he will..This has been a horrible couple of weeks for Bush...
More die in Iraq,the whole World now knows for a fact that the War was nothing but a fabricated lie,from the mouths of people in this administration.

Then cometh the disaster that was the Kerry/Bush debate and now Edwards getting Cheney to lie on so many topics that their still being counted and debunked.
