I'm surprised that the corporate media isn't drumming this...
...into us 24/7. From http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-2975666,00.html

"The Senate Intelligence Committee's top Democrat, Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, expressed concern that the searches are being diverted away from finding actual weapons.

"Signs of a weapons program are very different than the stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons that were a certainty before the war," Rockefeller said. "We did not go to war to disrupt Saddam's weapons program, we went to disarm him.""

This pisses me off. There were no WMDs before the war. They've had literally months to find them, and have nothing. At least Ted Kennedy told the truth in the article.

Why do some Democrats go around parroting what we know are Shrub's LIES, and were lies when he first said them. Do Rockefeller, Holy Joe, and their ilk really believe this crap, and if not, why do they lie for Bush?

Seriously, this makes NO sense to me.

1. Do a search from 1998
Clinton, Daschle and evryone said that WMDs are a huge problem. Pretty much everyone said that the WMDs were there. It's too late to flip flop now.

2. I'm not talking about 1998.
I'm talking about 2003. Whatever was the situation five years ago, they're obviously not there now, and weren't there when the Regime started their oil war. I understand them lying; their political future and their agenda depends on it.

But why would our side back them up? Do they think they're going to get some scraps off the Repukes' table for it?
