ben, re: wmd, the military jumped the gun a couple times expecting fertilizer (sh*t? -lol-) to be wmd. the chemical factory was probably their worst false start.

imho, they honestly thought they had something, were wrong and now learned not to jump the gun - b/c retracting that type of thing is embarrassing. EVERYONE knows they haven't found the wmd. let's not make a mass conspiracy out of some early over eager, self serving press releases that have been pretty much corrected.

we all know the score right now wrt wmd. ZERO! -lol-

Remember those 8000 Iraqis who surrendered on almost the first day; then a week later after more surrenders, the total was up to 3600. Huh?

I think it was a division of 8000 that surrendered but 8000 was its original strength. The majority of people in the division had deserted, and some continued to fight even after the division surrendered.
