Elwood - Even the President isn't claiming anymore that there are any WMD to be found. Now he talks about "weapons of mass destruction program related activities." MIGs can't deliver WMD if they don't have any to deliver. And no, artillery shells really don't fit in that category. By the way, what's the shelf life for "blister agent"? Is it still good after more than ten years? - Allen Hi Allen, Right, they are now talking about WMD program related activities that have been discovered by Inspector David Kay. Thank goodness that the U.S. Military kept Hussain's Air Force (MIGs) and their destructive firepower on the ground which undoubtedly lessened the civilian/military casualties. David Kay hasn't found a warehouse full of WMD yet. But the Hussain clan is over. IMO they were the biggest WMD of all. Don't know the shelf life of blister agents. I do know that properly stored shells have a very, very long life. The shells under discussion almost seem to have been discarded or stored by someone not knowledgeable on technique. Not to belabor this discussion, but I find it interesting that many thread posters do not express an equivalent outrage over the VMD (Victims of Mass Destruction - slaughtered by the Hussain regime) as they do about the lack of WMD. Do you think that is because we are in the middle of a political season? EB

Allen, It humorous that Bush is now trying to scapegoat the CIA. Or it would be if it weren't for the good people in the CIA. They told him before the war there weren't large amounts of WMD if any. And Bush's cronies sold out CIA agents and the entire underground community of sympathetic contacts that the CIA built up over many years. Many Americans have short memories, and the Bush/Cheney people think that will be enough. But only a jerk like Bush could get me to do this: Vote for Kerry. I haven't voted Democratic for 15 years. I hate voting for the lesser of two evils. But in this case my revulsion at what Bush has done to the Bill of Rights and everything that a true patriot holds sacred has overridden my dislike of Kerry. Almost everyone I know who has rejected the Democratic party for the Libertarian or Green or even non voters, say they are going to vote for Kerry, because we all agree Bush is the worst President of modern times probably the worst president ever. By far. He makes Nixon look thoughtful. We think he's killing the American Dream. He's Poison to everything I believe in that America should be. Honest. Compassionate. Thoughtful. The friend of working people and business. He's none of these. His friends are Monopolists who destroy business and are willing to sell America down the drain as long as they get theirs. You can bet no one will forget the last election was "won" due to graft in Florida. Every single Democrat in the United States will be voting on this next election day along with people who stopped voting or turned to other parties because they didn't like Clinton. This country should lead the world not disgust it. Bush is toast.
