1. cool
"Why did I know something the White House, the Congress, the Pentagon and the CIA didn't seem to know about the WMDs?"

That's what a lot of us are asking. But of course they knew as well as we did it was all bull.

I love seeing letters from around the country.

2. I love this one
Splitting the datum


Scientist David Kay says there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Period.

Yet, some say it is just that WMDs have not been found... yet. So as long as none have been found, they are still there. If they had been found, they would have been there. They were not found but they are probably still there. They are there even though they are not there. They just have not been found yet. It doesn't matter how long it takes. They're out there.

Patty Fong, Seattle


You go, Patty Fong!

3. The reich winger
"If there were no WMDs, then why did the Iraqis have the large stores of chemical suits, gas masks and atropine on hand? Saddam's behavior and the existence of these anti-biochem warfare supplies are evidence that the weapons existed up until a short time before the invasion."

And, since US troops went into Iraq with all these same things, that proves that the US intended to use them, right?
Or it proves that the US was afraid Iraq was going to use them...
Just as Iraq was afraid that the US was going to use them...
Just as Iran did use them against Iraq...

"And have we forgotten about the last resolution calling for "immediate and unconditional" dismantling of WMDs or the proof showing that that process is taking place? Does "immediate" mean "at your discretion"? Does "unconditional" mean "on your terms"? For that reason alone, we were justified in doing the work that the U.N. should've done."

Now, prove that you are dismantling the WMD's that you say you don't have. If you cannot, we will invade.
And see my sig line.
