Rummy is grasping at straws - when will they stop lying?
http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/02/04/sprj.nirq.rumsfeld.congress.ap/index.html

<Other possibilities cited by Rumsfeld:

• Weapons may have been transferred to a third country before U.S. troops arrived in March.

• Weapons may have been dispersed throughout Iraq and hidden.

• Weapons existed but were destroyed by the Iraqis before the war started.

Or, Rumsfeld postulated, "small quantities" of chemical or biological agents may have existed, along with a "surge capability" that would allow Iraq to rapidly build an arsenal of banned weapons. Commenting on that possibility, Rumsfeld said, "We may eventually find it in the months ahead."

10. I was going to say he stops lying when he stops talking, but you
make a more accurate statement. He probably lies in his dreams to, hee, hee.

7. Actually I think that part is true.
No proof here but I have heard that Sadam's people routinely lied to him to stay in good favor and cover their asses. Seems plausible. Does that change anything? No. The war and the reasoning for it was BOGUS and no bullshit excuse will justify it.

8. but our "solid" intelligence has nothing but "mights"???
remember the photos? Trucks moving around, allegedly "proof" that Iraw was moving this stuff around to avoid the UN? We claimed we saw the trucks at WMD facility "A", and then see them leave, then see the UN arrive.

Never heard a peep about where that stuff was moving TO, did we? They didn't alert the UN while it was supposedly happening to let them re-schedule their inspection, or relocate to the new, moved place...

now suddenly our good, solid intelligence doesn't have a CLUE where the stuff supposedly went???

please...
