From the Borowitz Report: WMD FOUND IN SADDAM’S BEARD Bush: Whiskers No Longer a Threat to U.S. The search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq came to an end today as U.S. military officials found chemical, biological and nuclear weapons hidden in the scraggly beard of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. The Iraqi madman had instructed his weapons scientists to create the WMD in microscopic form so that he could carry them around on his person at all times, the officials said. U.S. General Ricardo Sanchez said that the discovery of WMD nestled in Saddam's unkempt facial hair closes the book on one of Operation Iraqi Freedom's most enduring mysteries. "Now we know why we never found the weapons of mass destruction," General Sanchez told reporters. "We never dreamed they were tiny enough to be hidden on someone's face." The general added that Saddam was capable of launching his deadly weapons cache merely by shaking his head. After he was captured, Saddam received a shave and a haircut from the Halliburton Company, who charged the former dictator the entire $750,000 he had in his possession. The deadly beard was then stored in an airtight container and transferred to a U.S. military laboratory in Wiesbaden, Germany for future study. At a press conference in Washington, President Bush praised the military for removing Saddam's lethal beard once and for all. "Thanks to the efforts of our coalition, Saddam Hussein's whiskers will no longer harbor the world's deadliest weapons," Mr. Bush said. Later in his press conference, the President revealed that U.S. forces found Saddam after receiving a tip from Tikrit that there was an ass in a hole in the ground.

Bush attacked Iraq based on a lie. Now, if Bush had faulty data, it shows he is incompetent. A man who wields such power has no right to be incompetent and if he is, it is bad for the country and the world. Bush should resign. Now, if Bush knew he was lying, he is a bigger threat to the country and the world and should be impeached and face war crimes. You can NOT spend billions of tax payer's money and kill thousands of lives and then say, "Oops, I was mistaken." The buck stops at the President. He should step down for the good of the country. By him not doing it, shows the "good of the country" is NOT what concerns him.
