From mushroom clouds to maybe...
We have gone from hearing that Hussein would nuke us to...if he did have WMD he could have exported them. He might have restarted his WMD programs.

If, might, could have, maybe...how far can you stretch this hideous lie?

1. He was thinking of maybe, someday starting a weapons program
Surely that was worth the loss of 25,000 people.

4. He can't prove
he didn't think of them. What if he dreamed of WMDs? Surely we can't let a Mad Man Dream (MMDs) of weapons!

As far as "clouds," the 9-11 Commission did NOT deny that there were cirrus, cirrostratus, cirrocumulus, cumuolnimbus, and stratus clouds over Iraq in the year proceeding our invasion. Suppose that Saddam laid on his back, and imagined that some were weapony-shaped? The radical left wing always ignores that possibility.

5. as far as it will stretch . . . and stretch . . .

. . . . . . .

Lies, often repeated, are accepted . . . which is why Rove, Dumbya, Dickie-boy and the rest of the Bush Entourage toss mud because some of it sticks!

7. Bottom-line: Iraq has had NO WMD capability since 1991....
...and those weapons (chemical and biological...no nukes) were CERTIFIED by the UN weapons inspectors as destroyed in 1991, and CERTIFIED again by the same group in 1995.

The NeoCons mounted a massive disinformation campaign to make a majority of Americans believe that Saddam had WMDs and was more than willing to use them. Part of that disinformation campaign was the wide dissemination of the FALSE story that Saddam had used gas on his own people during the Irag-Iranian War. An intelligence report written shortly after the time of the incident stated that the gas could have only come from the Iranians, because the Iraqis did not then possess gas with the signature qualities of the gas used.

The U. S. mainstream media TOTALLY ignored the UN reports and any other dissenting views in regards to the non-existent Iraqi WMDs. The U. S. mainstream media also TOTALLY ignored the fact that the story about Saddam using gas on his own people was TOTALLY FALSE.
