2. Condi=sock puppet for the administration
Maybe this woman has a great education, but she's shown absolutely no original thought of her own since taking office. I don't believe any exists. Anyone who's been to college knows that just because one obtains a degree, doesn't make one intelligent. There are tons of people who get by solely on the ability to kiss ass and regurgitate information. I'm likely to believe she was one of those.

3. Great!
I've been thinking about that too. Just how would you prove you don't have something?

7. Where did the orginal inventory number come from?
Us? We started the whole program.

Saddam? Why would we believe him about that?

Did they start with a known known and work backwards? What makes it a known known and not a unknown known or a known unknown?

9. Exactly! Remember when St. Ronald of Reagan removed Iraq
from the "State-Sponsored Terrorist List"? That enabled military shipments to be made to Iraq. We sent them TONS of stuff, even after we knew they were using WMD against Iran and the Kurds. We also had the Italians do some dirty work for us by shipping Iraq arms as a "middle man".

10. When did we send over the "Beware of Dog" sign?
That was back when he was OUR S.O.B. which is soooooooo last century.

6. See, this is why, in the United States, the burden of proof is on the
accuser (in theory, anyway).

If a cop arrests me for drug possession, the burden is on the state and the cop to prove I actually have drugs. I do not have any illegal substances in my house or vehicle (and normally don't, unless a visitor has some on his or her person). However, it's virtually impossible for me to prove that I don't. That's why it's up to the cops to find the evidence. No evidence, no conviction.
