Views on the Iraq War, Part I

I haven't spoken of the Iraq war in a while, so I thought I'd bore you cross-eyed with the topic, yet again.

I'm a proud member of the dwindling minority who still thinks Saddumb Husinsane actually harbored weapons of mass destruction. Why? Two reasons: One, he used them, and more than once. Two, he admitted that he possessed them to the U.N weapons inspectors (AKA the "Look Busy" club), but claimed he destroyed them. Interestingly, he refused to divulge the location of their dismantlement.

I also believe he had them as recently as the eve of the second invasion of Iraq by U.S. forces. A sizeable number of people have come forward in interviews and claimed the Iraqis shipped out unknown materials in large quantities in freight truck convoys, just days before the first troops poured into the region. The U.S. government has other intelligence confirming this. The vehicles made a beeline for the Bekaa Valley in Syria, a country run by (surprise, surprise) Ba'athists, which is Saddumb's political party. I accept the possibility of presumptuousness, on my part, but I don't think this was Husinsane's personal teddy bear collection.

He had the opportunity and the time for spiriting such weapons away, hiding them, or destroying them, which would explain why American soldiers weren't tripping over nook-yuh-luhr warheads while searching hovels and spider holes throughout Baghdad.

Finally, WMDs were found in Iraq, just not in massive quantities. The media deserves credit for keeping this swept in a nice, tidy pile, under the rug.

As someone who did not vote for Bush in the last election, I can honestly say the accusations against him regarding WMDs are some of the most reckless, cynical, and thoroughly dishonest examples of political opportunism I've ever encountered. We have a country full of politicians who were totally convinced Iraq had WMDs. Miraculously, those same officials became skeptical of their existence at the precise moment that George Bush decided in favor of an invasion of the country. Labelling this a coincidence is pure generosity. Politicians--particularly Demonscats--who once preached the dangers of Saddumb's regime flip-flopped faster than froglegs in a skittle and accused Bush of misleading us and, in some cases, outright lying to the American people. Let me just remind everyone that before the invasion, everyone believed Iraq had WMDs. Everyone, across the board. In fact, so certain were they of this fact, some jabbering heads on tv actually used it as an excuse for not invading Iraq, out of fear of what Husinsane might do.

This one example shows me that the Demonscats comprise the party of political whoredom, and nothing else.
