What If Bush Did It? A Nation Celebrates What It is Told

WASHINGTON, May 5, 2004 – In a dramatic late-night appearance in the White House press room, President George W. Bush announced that Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction had been found in a secret stronghold near the Syrian border.

“We knew he had them, we knew we would find them. It was just a matter of time,” said an exultant Mr. Bush, who has been subjected to constant criticism for more than a year over the failure to find the WMD that sparked the invasion of Iraq in April 2003.

<edit>

“It was like the gates of hell had been opened,” Bush said. “These weapons and toxins could have destroyed hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, all around the world. Today has been a triumph of good over pure evil, and another ringing testament to America’s greatness.”

Bush said the weapons and the laboratories have been completely destroyed, to avoid any of the material falling into the wrong hands.

<edit>

“They destroyed all evidence of the weapons as soon as they found them in a top-secret operation? That doesn’t make sense to me,” Feingold said in an interview with NBC’s Tim Russert. “Now no one else can independently confirm what actually happened. We are supposed to take the administration’s word at face value – no questions asked. I’m not saying the weapons weren’t there, but force-feeding a docile public with unconfirmable statements – especially about matters which have been swathed in murk and mystery for years – this is not the way a democracy is supposed to work.”

2. Cute, but they could never claim to have killed OBL unless they knew he waas already dead.
Otherwise, he could just put out a video holding today's New York Times.
