*GASP* Shock & Horror! Bush touted WMD find despite conflicting evidence
Paper: Bush touted WMD find despite conflicting evidence

--yep folks there is your headline on CCN International April 12, 2006 it was listed under "news"--


http://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/04/12/iraq.weapons.ap/

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Bush administration claimed trailers captured soon after the fall of Baghdad proved Iraq had weapons of mass destruction even though U.S. intelligence officials had strong evidence that was not the case, The Washington Post reported.

When the two small trailers were seized in late May 2003, President Bush proclaimed a fresh victory for his administration in Iraq. The administration said they were mobile "biological laboratories," and Bush declared, "We have found the weapons of mass destruction."

The claim, repeated by top administration officials for months afterward, was cited at the time as supporting evidence for the decision to go to war.

But a secret mission to Iraq had concluded the trailers had nothing to do with biological weapons. Leaders of the Pentagon-sponsored mission sent their findings to Washington in a report on May 27, 2003, two days before the president's statement, the Post reported.

1. American Psycho


Amerimacka

Miss Liberty turn inna Jezzabelle
All de dreams you go sell, de whole dem turn inna hell
Her bed of roses are filled with thorns
Her righteous robes are tattered and torn

If she had only stood for love
That would have been enough
She wouldn’t have to hide her shame
If she had only stood for love
That would have been enough
But now she’s burnt us all with her flames

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life
Amerimacka
Is like licking honey off a knife

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life

The land of the free built on slavery
Our consciousness in captivity
The promise land is the liar’s den
Your culture of greed has got to end

Now we’re laying in the mud
Looking up above
Tear water just ah drop from the sky
They try to keep us in the mud
Separating us from love
But me nah go let dem conquer de I

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life
Amerimacka
Is like licking honey off a knife

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life

Thievery Corporation

2. "We found apples in an orange grove"...
nothing strange about that... not when it comes to the Bushies. He didn't find any in the oval office either, but he was as sure of finding them there as he was in Iraq, no doubt. :silly:

3. This - alone - is reason to impeach George Bush.
He knowingly and willingly put our troops in harm's way without just cause. He lied - again - to the American people. When is it going to stop? When will Congress hold this man accountable for his actions?

4. But, Bush has plausible deniability - -no one believes he can read.
And back then Cheney had Bush's bubble hermetically sealed.
