SOTU Question...
I didn't watch. I recorded it, then decided to read it online to avoid his grating voice and use of the word NU-CU-LAR.

Anyway, he said:


"Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror. The Iraqi regime has plotted to develop anthrax, and nerve gas, and nuclear weapons for over a decade. This is a regime that has already used poison gas to murder thousands of its own citizens -- leaving the bodies of mothers huddled over their dead children. This is a regime that agreed to international inspections -- then kicked out the inspectors. This is a regime that has something to hide from the civilized world.

States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could provide these arms to terrorists..."

My question, does one now have to be the leader of a country to buy a bomb? Doesn't the former USSR have a whole bunch that are unaccounted for? Can't anyone with the right amount of dough pretty much procure a dirty bomb, at least?

1. Lying sack of crap!
He talks in old history. His pappy and Clinton knew the loses would outweigh the gains in an attack. And no one has cared for over 20 years about those mothers huddled over their dead children. We knew any action would cause more mothers to huddle over their children's graves right here at home. Those weapon inspectors of which he speaks were also back in the day. The inspectors HE sent were allowed to stay and they told him point blank that they were given all access and there were no WMD or plans to make WMD.

He is still lying.
