Carl, what you said was that the US deployed anthrax. Which is either deliberately incorrect, or else you are starting to lose your mind. Typically, when people say "the US" did something, you can tell by the context that either they meant the US government, or else the US people as a whole. I am sitting here in my nightgown, drinking coffee, and about to go wake up the kids. If I said "the US is wearing a nightgown, drinking coffee" you'd think I had lost my mind. Or maybe it's poetry. The US wakes up before the sun comes up Puts on her nightgown And goes downstairs to start the coffee brewing. She turns on the computer Pets the cats And when the coffee is brewed Has two cups, alone in her office Enjoying the peace and quiet While reading about war On the Internet CB@fallacyofcomposition.com

Lott to McDermott: Shut Up and Come Home Sunday Sept. 29, 2002; 7:48 p.m. EDT newsmax.com Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., angrily blasted Congressman Jim McDermott, D-Wash., Sunday afternoon after the left-wing Democrat predicted that President Bush would lie to get the U.S. into a war with Iraq during an interview he conducted earlier in the day from Baghdad. "He needs to come home and keep his mouth shut," Lott told reporters. "For him to be in Baghdad, the center of one of the most dangerous dictators in the world with all kinds weapons of mass destruction, to be questioning the veracity of our own American president is the heighth of irresponsibility." Earlier in the day, McDermott, who is on a so-called peace mission with Rep. David Bonior, was asked about his previous statement that he thought Bush would lie to start a war. "I think the president would mislead the American people," McDermott told ABC's "This Week" from Baghdad. "I believe that sometimes they give out misinformation. Lyndon Johnson did it in the Vietnam War." Before he went to Iraq McDermott told NBC's "Today Show," "The President of the United States will lie to the American people in order to get us into this war."
