(Although, for some reason now, I have a vision of him as an Elder Horror... Ia! Ia! Bush ftaghn! Nope, doesn't work...)

If Bush Sr. was organizing this war he would have had some solid fake evidence ready to sway the UN Security Council and public opinion when he needed it. Bush Jr. can't even produce fake evidence that will stand up for a day or two. Jay

But it isn't clear if that was US or British, plus it's always possible they where simply passing on bogus information provided by one of their sources. I would also put the attempts to link Saddam to 9/11 beyond the level of exaggeration. This claim has been made again and again by Bush, despite leaks from the intelligence services that indicate they don't think it's true. Jay

If you can trust them to do what you tell them to, they're not worthy of it. :) "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." -- Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989
