They FOUND the WMD, They FOUND the Weapons, but didn't recognize it

and let it go unguarded....OOPs, now its MISSING, assumed by those guys intent on using it on our troops in IEDs

380 tons of high explosive shit is THE WMD but of the CONVENTIONAL KIND. The LOLO Prez and his boys had lost it when they coulda, woulda, shoulda....

2. It's NOT, repeat NOT...WMD. It's bad enough as it is....

but we can't confuse it with WMD. The freeps would love to start to spread it around that there were WMD and there is no time to straighten it out. Our librul media is all too willing to help them out in this endeavor.

4. They're in a bind, aren't they.

If these are the WMD (which, really, they are not), then they had them and let them get away.

If they are not, well then they still lied all along.

"Were you lying then, or are you lying now?"

6. They tried, if I remember correctly

I seem to remember the spin on the story in Al Qa Qaa as starting like that back in 2003. If not for the fact that it was documented as already being there and we knew of it (along with that pesky International Atomic Energy Agency�s list thing) it may have washed for them to an extent.

11. The media whores were saying these explosives could be used

as the triggering device for a nuke bomb. In my mind, that makes these explosives(Now missing) a component of WMD... I know, close but no Cigars)

But Close enough....?

8. WEAPONS of MASS DESTRUCTION are weapons that can destroy

a lot of people all at the same time....it is a bush* name for ATOMIC BOMBS...there is NOTHING else that can KILL MASSES OF PEOPLE all at the same time....

that's why bush* pushed the "mushroom cloud" crap...and the 'yellow cake' crap....and the 'centrifuge under the rose bush' crap...all of that was to imply ATOMIC BOMBS.....

NOBODY has ever used the term "WMD" when referring to commonly used explosives, like RDX and HDX...explosives that America uses everyday in highway construction, building demolition, mining and other peaceful purposes....

in fact, bush* doesn't even use WMD to refer to the ANTHRAX attack on OUR Nation's Senators and Federal Employees....

9. That's a false RW talking point. These were explosives that were

accounted for and contained. Saddam was allowed to have them according to the UN resolution definition of WMD that Bush used to justify his war. Further, Bush lied to America and led us to believe that Saddam Hussein had Nukes.

WMD = Nukes according to Bush pre-invasion
WMD = Fire Crackers according to Bush after invasion
