Stop the presses! Of all the claims made, the tons of anthrax, the thousands of litres of nerve gas, the nuclear arms program on the brink of fruition, and the dreaded mobile labs for bio-weapons productions, one, count 'em, one (emphasis gleefully added by me) has been shown to possess what may very well prove to be a grain of truth!
This must be a grand moment for you, Shodan, m’lad. No longer can the scurrillous lefties (like yours truly) claim that every single word on the WMD’s was total bullshit, there might be a gleaming nugget of gold in this turd sundae.
“Its not ALL total Bushwa!”
It would be churlish of me to sneer at such faith that surpasseth all understanding. I simply haven’t the heart, and its too easy. Go, frolic, dance in the street. This is probably as good as its gonna get. Enjoy it while you can.
But, fairs fair, take Shodan’s name off the “weenie” list.
Well the paint on that “fermenter” looks pretty trashed, lots of pipes seem to be missing, and is that a buildup of sand and alkali on the floor ? Shoring up claims of active biological weapons production with a device, and program, abandoned in the desert for a decade still fits my criteria for total bullshit.
You’re on Demo, I say the “still identified caustic agent” was nitrous hydride- NH[sub]4[/sub]. Also known on the street as Mr. Clean or Top Job.
And like I have said before, mix the ol’ sodium hyperchlorite solution and the odorous NH[sub]4[/sub] and you get evidence of Saddam’s deadly chlorine gas program.
You don’t even need anything as hi-tech as Mr. Clean. Just pour bleach into my cat’s litter box, and Bingo! (I made that realization too late once, in a stuffy studio apartment…nearly destroyed my very own mass.)
Dubya “Hey Tony, that Saddam bastard is really pissing me off and I want to bomb the shit out of him…umm…I mean liberate his people. Can you help?”
Blair “Hmmmmmm George I will have to think about it. That sounds a bit like meddling to me and it will probably deeply piss off the British people. Besides I don’t know that Saddam is any real threat to we British. Can’t you just kick his butt yourself and we will do a peace treaty with him later?”
Dubya “Ahhhhh but as this bloke Rex pointed out to me recently, you damn limeys owe us a war. You made us meddle when we didn’t want to”
Blair “Bugger you weren’t supposed to know about that. Damn that Rex exposing the truth about Lusitania”
Dubya “Hehehe Got ya. Now lets get out in that desert and do some butt kicking meddling”
Blair “Yep looks like you got me. Hey you haven’t got John Howards phone number handy have you?”
I actually must compliment you on the honesty of your answer. You’ve not dodged the issue for one second, and given a concise summary of your beliefs.
That aside though, I must disagree with you completely. You appear to be missing the idea that this was a selfless act by America, which helped to overthrow a barbaric regime intent on slaughtering millions and controlling even more. Even if we accept the idea that Germany might eventually have been defeated (a very arguable position) just how much longer would this have taken, and how much greater the death toll? You honestly think that ending the holocaust is not in itself justification enough?
Well why bother with proof when you’ve got suspicion and conspiracy to back you up. Perhaps you have some theories on the lunar landing you’d also like to share?
Now any chance you can give a cite for your claim that the Zimmerman telegram was a definite fake? Here’s a few that seem to think otherwise:
