		<description>easy87, I tried &#039;wmds&#039; on google and got from the top:
1. yet to discover any wmds..
2. none of the &lt;strong&gt;fabled&lt;/strong&gt; wmds has .. shown up
3. CNN &lt;strong&gt;2005&lt;/strong&gt; US calls off search for wmds..
4. US planting of wmds in iraq
5. frontpage: where the wmds went
6. information about dental products

I now consider google part of the MSM. I replaced the google search bar on my pc with yahoo which gives more results for the moment. It is a shame but inevitable that search engines would be corrupted by manipulators.

The most dangerous WMD may be the

&lt;strong&gt;Google Bomb&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;What I want to know is why the Pentagon is fighting so hard to keep the rest of this stuff secret. It seems the CIA might not be the only government agency with rouge elements.

Iblis on June 22, 2006 at 4:02 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Just spitballin here but, I wonder if the DIA, or a couple sympathetic libs in the Pentagon, are busy covering their ass over the lousy job they have been doing regarding intelligence.

Is it also possible it was kept quiet so as to keep them from falling into the hands of AQ-I? It was stated in an article on this latest find that they found them amongst conventional munitions, and it has been well known Saddam stored his chemical WMD&#039;s mixed in with conventional munitions. With hundreds and hundreds of ammo dumps all over Iraq, it&#039;s possible someone didn&#039;t want this well known until many of those dumps had been checked.</description>

		<description>Wyrd,

I know what you meant and my peeve was not with you. We agree. 

To figure out what drives the Left on Iraq and terrorism has befuddled me for a long time. So has their attitude toward communism, socialism and other utopias. 

They defend the systems, while ignoring the suffering masses within. In theory their party is supposed to be for equality and freedom, or so they claim. In reality these systems are heavens for the very few and living hells for all the others. 

I lived in such a system for 23 years. None of them can tell me which system is better. NONE! NEVER! EVER!

If I had extra millions I&#039;d pay for some of them to live there, forced, for 2 full years. Then, I&#039;d ask for a full comparable on the differences.</description>

		<description>Entelechy, 
I probaly should have clarified my post.
The reason is important.  But not in the same way the Liberals  say it is.
The liberals appear to be focussing on one or 2 aspects.  
1) we went to war because Bush said their were WMD&#039;s
2) The WMD&#039;s were not their (that they were most likely moved to Syria before the war by Sadam is convenietly ignored)
When I said &quot;who cares why we went to war&quot; I should have said that focusing on the two listed reasons and continuing to harp the &quot;Bush Lied&quot; BS will not accomplish anything.  I know their were  many reasons to go to war, and that the war was justified.  But everytime you bring up those reasons the liberals plug their ears and start humming really loud.

And Easy87, excelent.</description>

		<description>Better off Blue,

I like the way you you raise issues. It is inspiring.

&lt;strong&gt;You wrote:

Maybe the MSM is aware that there have been many of the supposed WMD....
Or maybe the MSM is highly skeptical of the fact that it wasn’t the President.... &lt;/strong&gt;

You justify a reporter&#039;s right of refusal to report news.

Do you see the problem here? You assume the that journalist can choose to report certain news and choose not to report certain news based on their judgement. 

In essence, you assume the journalist&#039;s function is to screen the news  for the readers.

This is wrong. This is activism by journalism. This is trying to brainwash the public. 

Journalist should report the news, the source of the news, and what the news is all about, to his best ability.

If journalist found flaw in the news, they should report that too. If they found the source of the news to be fraudulent, they should report that too.

You see, Dan Rather&#039;s fault is not in reporting the memo, his fault is in not questioning the memos. He should report, then persue its authenticity with integrity. He should report the finding by the bloggers and he should question the memo with us. If he had done all that, he would still be on a pedestal.

Therefore, the major media today is not practicing good journalism. they are trying to brainwash us to accept their political agenda.

It is as transparent as your post.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t care if the &quot;WMD&quot; are old or not!  Damn it, let&#039;s take the handcuffs off our guys and let them take out the insurgents now!!  Get this over with the right way and &lt;em&gt;then&lt;/em&gt; we can worry about WMD...they may be in Russia, Syria, Jordan but right this minute I want the fiends from hell that killed those two men so viciously to be found and killed with a bullet right between the eyes, period!!  

The uber Left &lt;em&gt;will&lt;/em&gt; never care one way or another.  It&#039;s just a stick to keep hitting us with.  They&#039;re old and toally bereft of ideas of any kind about anything. Kos is a perfect example of that:  a snotty, spoiled child throwing a tantrum just like his cohorts on the left.</description>

		<description>NTWR... sorry to disappoint you... but Hitler and Mussolini were both popularly elected in multiple party elections.

As well as the Confederacy and US during the War between the states... both were Democracys...

Democracys can be just as beligerent as any other form of government.</description>

<p>As well as the Confederacy and US during the War between the states&#8230; both were Democracys&#8230;</p>
<p>Democracys can be just as beligerent as any other form of government.</p>

		<description>And also Blue, i&#039;d like for you to explain how it&#039;s just a-ok for the iraqis to live under a dictator - isn&#039;t that a &quot;human rights violation&quot; that all of you &quot;progressives&quot; consistently scream???  I guess freeing the Iraqis wasn&#039;t &quot;glamorous&quot; enough for your crowd.</description>

		<description>Wyrd said &quot;Who cares WHY we went to war?&quot; - many of us do care - we went because it is good for the World and good for the U.S. And it is good, period. Nothing gives me a greater &#039;high&#039; than seeing dictators&#039; statues toppled (Lenin, Stalin, Saddam Hussein). The rest of it is just nonsensical bla-bla, including much of what the Bush admin. has spewed, now and then.

Probably the discoveries in 2003, and after, would expose the Russians, French and Chinese (who knows what all they sent to Iraq, via U.N. programs) - a reason for the current admin. to diminish their significance.

History will sort it all out, including the insignificance of the so-called MSM. Mr. Harper in Canada told the Canadian media that they are not a branch of government. Ours needs to be put in the same place.

The voters, naive as most are, are still reading through the media and the politicians. And they are instinctively not suicidal.</description>

		<description>Blue,
Read this:
&quot;A new regime in Iraq would serve as a dramatic and inspiring example of freedom for other nations in the region. (Applause) It is presumptuous and insulting to suggest that a whole region of the world, or the one-fifth of humanity that is Muslim, is somehow untouched by the most basic aspirations of life.&quot;

Bush said this during an interview on PBS in 2003 (thanks, Allah for the link).

You are SO WRONG to believe that WMD&#039;s were the ONLY reason why we went to war with Iraq.  It was just one reason of many.  OK, so what if WMD&#039;s weren&#039;t found?  Did we not dispose a dictator, free millions of people, and help begin the FIRST democracy in the Arab world?  

Blue, you fail to see the &quot;big picture&quot; which is that free people do NOT believe that terrorism should be the rule of law.  That free people are civilized and can self-rule.  Blue, we all want the same thing - freedom to raise our children, freedom to practice our own religion, freedom to work, freedom to pursue an education, freedom of movement.  That is human nature.  Don&#039;t you think that it&#039;s a GOOD thing that Iraqis now have this?  So I say again:  while it&#039;s great that Bush &amp; Co. have been vindicated by finding some WMD&#039;s, the fact that these people are now free, is HUGE and should be celebrated.  That&#039;s why it is SO IMPORTANT to stay there until we are certain that the Iraqis are able to handle the security of their country themselves.  To do otherwise, is telling the terrorists that they can just be patient and that the Americans will eventually give up.  

Also, i&#039;d like to how many WMD&#039;s (and what kind) it will take before you apologize and admit that you were wrong.  Let&#039;s get a NUMBER FROM YOU.  If it&#039;s not 500, then how many??</description>

		<description>Hey history buffs, correct me if I&#039;m wrong, but isn&#039;t it true that no democratic nation has ever waged war against another democratic nation?

If so, I think there&#039;s pretty good reason to try and spread democracy, especially among the Theocratic Totalitarian regions.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I’m as happy as anyone about “bringing democracy to the Middle East,” especially if it’s ultimately in our interests (who knows? Democracy doesn’t always engender friendship with US) but it’s not why conservatives support the war.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It certainly is why &lt;strong&gt;this&lt;/strong&gt; conservative supports the war, and it&#039;s been my main reason all along.</description>

		<description>This is relatively simple.  The MSM is a leftist magaphone and this story is not consistent with their political and social agendas.  Their approach is, keep mum, say nothing and it will go away.  There is no &quot;news&quot; media in this country anymore.  There is only politically biased propaganda machines like the mainstream media . Several hundred chemical warheads are significant and the true nature of their numbers and detructive power must be presented to the people.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Or maybe the MSM is highly skeptical of the fact that it wasn’t the President, or a Dept. of Defense offical, or &lt;strong&gt;someone from the intel community&lt;/strong&gt; who came forward with this report…but was a Republican senator who is trailing badly in the polls.&lt;/em&gt;

..and who was reading from the memo sent him by John Negroponte, Americas #1 intelligence honcho.

Was that Strike Three?</description>

		<description>At this point in time I have to say
&quot;Who cares WHY we went to war?  We are their now!&quot;

If you walk into the kitchen and see a big pile of milk on the floor do you spend all your time and money trying to put some one in jail for it, or do you clean the mess up?
Seriously, the Liberals have been trying to impeach bush since BEFORE he was elected. I am not talking about the hanging chads, I am talking about 6 months before the frigging elections.  That is a primary reason why people dismiss the lefts attempts to piss on Bush.  For six years Democrats and liberals have been on a George W Bush witch hunt.  Guesse what?  Most of us do not care.  Did he lie about WMD&#039;s to go to war?  Probaly not.  He used Clinton era inteligence to decide if WMD&#039;s were their.  It is the same inteligence Gore used in 1998 when he came out and said that Sadam had WMD&#039;s and was dangerous.  The world had its own inteligence, and it concurred with us at the time that Sadam had to go.  (I ignore the UN, considering France, Germany and Russia were all profiting from breaking the UN embargo&#039;s.) based on the intel &lt;blockquote&gt;available at the time&lt;/blockquote&gt; the decision was made to go to war.  Three weeks later the War was won. Now we are their helping to build a democracy.
So go on crying ignorant lies like &quot;bush Lied people died&quot; or &quot;No war for oil&quot;.  The fact of the matter is that we went, we kicked but, and now we are doing everything we can, despite the Liberals, to make Iraq into a strong country.

You don&#039;t like it BoB? Too freaking bad.  It is being done, it will be done and you are impotent to stop it.  Matter of fact, every tax doller you pay HELPS our mission!  So you are as big a part of it as the most die hard republican.
In this light, I can thank you Blue, as one consumer to another, for your help in helping the Bush economy, The bush War in Iraq, and the Bush war on Terror.  Your assistance as a hard working tax payer helps make the Iraq war a success.</description>
