Failure to Find Saddam Proves He Never Existed (2003-05-03) -- Six weeks after the invasion of Iraq, Pentagon officials are quietly beginning to acknowledge that their failure to find Saddam Hussein may be proof that the Iraqi leader never existed. "We hate to admit it," said one unnamed official, "One of our main reasons for going in there was regime change. You know...overthrow a brutal dictator who tortured his own people. But at this point, we're not sure there ever was a Saddam Hussein. After all, if we don't have him dead or alive...who's to say?" The military official said that the statues, murals and videos of Saddam Hussein are "circumstantial evidence which don't prove anything." "I try to look on the bright side," he added. "Maybe we'll luck out and find a few chemical weapons so the war won't have been a total waste." Experts agree that evidence of actual atrocities against Iraqis lacks the news value that potential atrocities against Westerners would have. scrappleface.com

You wrote: <font color=blue>"LOL, now that even fox news' pompous windbag Bill O'Reilly is admitting there are no WMDs" <font color=black> You might be right that Saddam spent 30 years developing WMD, and had no WMDs to show for it, and that the UN placed sanctions against Saddam for over a decade because Saddam was developing WMD, but he wasn't able to develop ONE WMD. And you might be right that vials of Iraqi biological weapons are not heading for America right now. If you are right, I will personally go over to Iraq and try to use superglue to put Saddam and his sons back together again. My only question? Will superglue stick to crap? <g>

Lizzie, are you "still waiting for WMD?" I highly recommend the two-part "Saddam" series running on the History Channel for anyone who's intellectually honest enough to admit the possibility they were wrong about Saddam being "contained and harmless." If you aren't absolutely sickened, horrified, and thankful for Messrs. Bush and Blair on the Iraq issue alone after seeing this two-hour special, check your own pulse. As for WMD, would you consider an atomic bomb a WMD? How about the one dropped on Hiroshima? I would, if only because of the "mass" casualties. It immediately killed about 50,000 people and at least that many over the next 10-20 years due to the delayed effects of radiation. The city itself did not achieve its pre-bomb industrial output until 13 years later in 1958. Likewise, the Allied incendiary bombings of Dresden directly cost the lives of as many as 200-300 (or more) thousand people. Stalin starved and executed at least 20 million. Mao may have directly caused the deaths of 50-100 million Chinese during his career. And then there's that Hitler guy who, along with Stalin and the Mafia, was a personal, technical, and psychological inspiration to Saddam. According to the reports, statistics and news arriving almost daily from Iraq, Sadam Hussein was HIMSELF a weapon of mass destruction. One million casualties in the 8-year war with Iran, five thousand gassed Kurds but another 180,000 "missing" and believed burned or buried in mass graves, thousands tortured and executed (according to Saddam's own records)...it goes on and on, if you've got the stomach for it. Did Iraq have a weapon of mass destruction? Yes. It was Saddam, his sons and the sick Ba'athist regime that devastated Iraq, its citizens, neighbors and the world for 30 years. Good riddance. Thank you President Bush and Prime Minister Blair for having the courage and leadership to do what a paralyzed world was unwilling to do--MK--
