Bush Blames Singing Frog for Disappearance of Iraqi Weapons

Seeking to dispel rumors that the Bush administration falsified or exaggerated claims that Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told what he described as �the full story� of the administration�s failed attempts to convince United Nations inspection teams of a verifiable threat. In Rumsfeld�s own words, the �bitterly ironic� tale involves �obdurate negligence, epic frustration, and one very dangerous singing frog�.

6. I don't quite understand your reasoning. To say that WB
comedies are indicative of most black americans is like saying that watching faux news gives blacks an insight into how most white americans think, believe, and act. That's a very sweeping generalization. The best way to find out how black or any other people of various origins,think, feel and act would probably be to get to know some and have some meaningful conversations with them.

9. It's a joke.......
A lot of people actually think that watching the WB gives them an insight just like a lot of younger folks I know think that listening to the rap makes them an expert on Urban America
