WMDs, and the nonexistence thereof.
Well I give this thread around an hour before it disappears but here goes.
Why is it that we are all lying down and acting mute after the blatant display of lies and fear mongering that was an excuse for why the Iraq invasion should proceed?
It seems it's Ok for Donald Rumdrinker, Colon Powell and Jack the Strawman to now come out and admit it was all big con. Is it any wonder that we become more cynical by the day of politician's words - shades of "children overboard" again.
I'm disgusted, especially at all of those who were too gullible (or biased) to see this coming and tried to use it to justify the pro-war position.

You don't do your argument any justice by the petty name calling, no matter how valid your point.
I am pretty amazed that WMD's (or at least irrefutable evidence of) have not been found. But then again, nor have Saddam Uday and Qusay. Be on the look out for 3 dusky men with large suitcases with Bio- and Radiation-Hazard stickers on them.
Sorry if you're disgusted. But I then I suppose the pro-war people might have had a few words to you when we saw scenes of Iraqi's welcoming the US into Baghdad. It seems the Alliance of the Willing included many Iraqi citizens.

I wouldn't start crowing yet. Maybe they will find something they will label "WMD", maybe they won't. The argument of those who opposed the war (that the so called "WMD" were not the real reason for the war) remains unchanged. Whether they actually find any is irrelevant. As Wolfowitz has already admitted, it was just an excuse to pursue more sinister motives.

[QUOTE][B]I thought it was now general knowledge that the Iraqis shown welcoming US troops were members of the Iraqi National Congress (the Americans' favoured group to form a new gov't) and had been bused in by the US troops themselves.

And one of the arguments of those pro the war has been proved. The people of Iraq wanted Saddam removed. Those that are opposed to this action would deny the Iraqi people the freedom they evidently craved and now have a chance at.

Perhaps common knowledge amongst the same people who think the moon landing was faked.
I'm sorry, but that is just plain wrong. There were several camera angles including one at the left front of the tank recovery vehicle amongst the crowd.
