Hi Win Smith; Re: "A subtly amusing line, given that it probably originated with the Friends of Ken Lay. I fully approve."
Here's another great example:
Hawkmoon, June 12, 2003
I mean, my god, Bilow... Look at how we safeguard our chemical and nuclear stockpiles here in the US!! We don't let them go unaccounted for, EVER!!... #reply-19024105
Bilow, in reply:
You are so full of shit. We lose chemical weapons all the f'ing time. For example: ... #reply-19024961
Hawkmoon, in reply:
What's to admit or deny?? It's a fact. 109 rounds of 155mm discovered in 1988 on Mbanika Island ... But hey... that's well over 40 years after a MAJOR GLOBAL CONFLICT with 12 million US servicement under arms had ended.. #reply-19025096
Hawkmoon claimed that the US had never lost track of chemical weapons, and that therefore Iraq didn't either. When faced with proof that the US did, in fact, not only lose track of chemical weapons, but did so repeatedly, his response is to generate excuses. Not only that, but his excuses were identical to the excuses that he denied were possible to explain Iraq's actions.
So which is it Hawkmoon? Were you lying when you said that it was impossible to lose chemical weapons? Or were you lying when you said that it was normal that the US lost them? I wouldn't trust you more than Bush.
It's hopeless to argue with him. He's an "America, right or right" guy who believes that his feces don't stink. Whatever happens, he will find an excuse that makes whatever the US (or Israel, at least for now) did excusable, and whatever the Iraqis (or anyone else) did, inexcusable.
