Ever gotten this Freeper reponse?
"Why would Bush say there were WMDs, if he knew they weren't there?"

That has got to be the dumbest Freeper response ever!

4. Not exactly.
Most of the conservatives I've had this discussion with still cling desperately to the hope that the WMDs are still there, somewhere -- or were perhaps successfully smuggled out of Iraq before our troops arrived.

6. And THAT'S my favourite argument ...
"Yeah, Syria? Saddam here. Listen, I have these WMDs and I need a place -- do you have an empty garage or something? No, it would only be for a few weeks or so. Well, couldn't you MOVE the bicycles? Thanks, you're a pal! Yeah, I'll have them trucked over tomorrow morning -- no one will EVER notice a convoy of trucks headed your way!"

15. Hello, Syria?
" Hey, do you think I could store my weapons there for a while? I think the Americans are going to attack and I need to hide them. Why? Use them? Duh! I didn't think of that. I don't know what the heck I'm saving them for. Just nevermind!"

It's only logical that if the USA were attacked, we'd move our weapons to Canada. Doh!! :sarcasm:

16. Of course!
I'm an American, but I live in Toronto, Ontario. Always happy to help my country in a time of need.

I'll look through the Yellow Pages tonight, and see if there are any spaces available at the local "WMD-U-STORE-IT" centre, just in case the need should ever arise ...

10. When they insist desperately, use a little common sense on them.
You could say something like:

Before the invasion of Iraq, I knew there weren’t any WMD's. Reason being we would not have invaded them in the first place if they had WMD's. We would have not put our soldiers in that kind of danger. Look at all the countries we avoid because they do have WMD's.

After the first few days of the war, it should have been clear to you that there weren’t any weapons of mass destruction. What is the reason for having WMD’s in the first place, if you’’re not going to use them against an invading army? That should have been a wake up call to the willfully ignorant, but no instead you chose to believe an even a more ridiculous argument that Saddam moved them. Why would, he had moved them? Was he saving them for a rainy day? Then tell him to get a clue and start using some common sense. How stupid do you have to be to continue to believe this filthy administrations’ crap?

13. I've used a similar argument.
It rarely does any good. Hardly any argument does any good with some of those folks.

7. It is an easy one to respond to.
He needed to lie to get his little war on Saddam.

14. "Because he wants you to be afraid - and stay that way."
"More proof that, in reality, Bush hates you."

17. It's actually a good question - here's the answer
I get this same statement from the same wingnut every time the war comes up in conversation, and I always tell him this - they fooled themselves into thinking that the war would be over so soon and the Iraqis would throw so many rose petals before our soldier's feet that the American people, thrilled with the "catastrophic success" of the war wouldn't mind a few mistakes in getting there. It just shows that when the asshats aren't trying to fool us, they're fooling themselves
