...journalism......NOT!

The problem is that this line of attack is based on a patent falsehood. There can be no doubt that Saddam had WMDs. He used chemical weapons to slaughter thousands of Kurdish civilians, and against Iranian combatants as well. He attempted to build nuclear weapons but the Israelis bombed his nuclear facilities 21 years ago this month, and U.S. forces seized his rebuilt facilities after the Gulf War ten years later \ufffd and found that he was closer to building a bomb than U.S. intelligence analysts had estimated. CNN is right now reporting "Nuke Program Parts Unearthed in Baghdad." Saddam admitted producing biological weapons (e.g. 8,500 liters of anthrax) and U.S. forces have found what appear to be mobile biological-weapons laboratories.

The problem is that they imply since Bufu had WMDs 11 years ago, that he must currently have WMDs. A not too unreasonable stretch, except...They ain't none now! Or we'd hear about it, fersher! The "Nuke Program Parts Unearthed" and the so-called mobile bio-weapons labs are just noise; both have been sufficiently debunked so as to make NRO using them as counterexamples (or, worse, justification) just flat laughable.

That's OK johnu, just keep supplying your bullshit wrapped in straw...I got my hip-waders on!
