The military "finds" a pot of leftovers in a mobile home ("found" by Pentagon allies the Kurds) and Bush tries to convince everyone they are WMDs.
Bush Remarks Confirm Shift in Justification for War http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A63017-2003May31.html
Most absurd excerpt from article:
"We found the weapons of mass destruction," Bush asserted in the Thursday interview, released Friday. "We found biological laboratories. You remember when Colin Powell stood up in front of the world, and he said, Iraq has got laboratories, mobile labs to build biological weapons. They're illegal. They're against the United Nations resolutions, and we've so far discovered two. And we'll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong. We found them."
==============================
- "We found the weapons of mass destruction," NO, a trailer was found with equipment in it that might or might not be used to make biological agents. NO one except Bush claims actual WMD's have been found.
- "We found biological laboratories." Experts NOT UNDER the Bush regime's control have said the trailers have uses for a number of purposes not related to WMD's.
- "And we'll find more weapons as time goes on" I repeat NO one except Bush claims actual WMD's have been found.
- "But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong. We found them." Hello, snap out of it, NO banned weapons have actually been found and I don't recall Bush ever saying we were fighting the war for "banned manufacturing devices".
=============
The article continues;
'Bush's assertion, one of many recent administration statements shifting focus from Iraq's weapons to Iraq's weapons programs, indicated the president would consider its accusations justified by the discovery of equipment that potentially could be used to produce weapons. But the original charges against Iraq, presented to the United Nations and the American public, were explicitly about the weapons themselves...'
'equipment that potentially could be used to produce weapons' Gee don't you use a fermenter to make home brewed beer? Look out all you home brewer's out there, a smart bomb will be heading in your direction soon courtesy of the regime! ===============
Billions of dollars, thousands of civilians killed (including children) for some 'they might be' germs in a 'might be' mobile biological lab provided by a group who wanted to use the US to get rid of Saddam. You know if all this weren’t so tragic, with all the people being hurt and killed the pure absurdity of it would be funny.

I don't know if this was seen by US viewers, but in the UK last night, Fox News ran a tape of Lt. Gen. James Conway, commander of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force on the ground in Iraq, saying no biochemial weapons have been found, followed immediatel by one of Bush making the statement quoted above and in the Post - "to those who say we found no weapons - they were wrong.
Perhaps Fox intended the Bush clip to refute the Conway clip, but it left viewers here with the choice of concluding that either Bush or Conway has no clue of what's going on in Iraq, or that one of them is lying.

...that the public is beginning to wake up to the fact they've been had.
The Sheeple are stirring.
WMD? Santa Clause? The Easter Bunny? The Tooth Fairy? Not much difference.

In addition to believing that Hayder is an Iraqi, I also believe in the tooth fairy.

you all have to be kidding me.... you are all pretending as if the Irak war was the beginning of the lying and murdering of thousands by the "new" US. Please wake up ! This has been going on for years. Please read up on " PAX AMERICANA " and you will begin to understand that the US has longed to dominate the world since the beginning of the 2nd World War, only the distribution of military hardware was a bit unfortnuate; until now. The US doesn't care what anyone thinks or says or does. And all you american citizens who have the right to vote are guilty too. It's your Tax Dollars that are financing the brutal murder of the innocent around the world. And heed this warning, because it is not only the beginning, it is the continuation of a 50 year old policy. Wake up and do something. For one , you can be sure that I will never buy an american made product ever again ! All you americans are murderers through direct or indirect affiliation! Can you grasp it ? I don't think even the bravest of you have the balls to admit to it, because if you could , then you just might actually do something about it. They will probably kill you for it. Aha, so your hamburger is worth more to you than stopping the new Nazis, and so you continue to do nothing but babble and complain a little on the internet. Do any of you people out there actually realize that 911 was orchestrated by CIA and B'nai B'rit ? Hey they are fucking with you guys like little children and you do nothing because you are all cowards.

That really hurt. What is more painful is to be carried by a stampeding herd of sheep and cows and weasels into darkness. I believe it to be a product of advanced phyops funded by merged interests of media and armament contracts. Your view is going to be slanted when these interests have purchased 99% of the public media. The progressive movement involves education beyond corporate control as in this forum despite the morons clowns weasels and jackasses.

HOO HA!!!!
Priceless!
Now that was some fine sour grapes and class A conspiracy theory from our foreign friend danny. Danny, beyond the fact that your views are laughable (if we are so intent on domination why do we continue to support the entire world in spite of it's hateful envy) you and those like you are ENTIRELY irrelevant.
Hate us all you want. We're use to it. We take care of all of you. Fight all your wars for you. Feed you all and expect no less then resentment from those who can't or refuse to help themselves. You are all like the spoiled teenagers who hate the father only to realize he was right all along.
