Jan 29, 2004 - Baghdad: Today deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein complained that he had been duped
by the Bush administration into believing he had a viable WMD program. "This is an outrage!" he screamed, in an interview
with the BBC. "If I would have known we didn't have stockpiles of WMD, I would never have played games with the U.N. weapons
inspectors. I would still be in power if it wasn't for Bush. The man should be impeached, and I hereby throw my full support
behind Howard Dean."
Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry expressed similar frustration, as evidenced by his new campaign slogan: "George
W. Bush is a moron... and he outsmarted me!" Wednesday, former CIA-appointed weapons inspector David Kay testified before
Congress about his findings in Iraq. He concluded that although Iraq was actively working on a WMD program (banned by the
U.N. after the Gulf War) there were not large stockpiles of said weapons in Iraq as everyone had previously thought. Ironically,
Kerry had the same access to CIA intelligence that Bush did (and was also firmly convinced that Iraq had WMD).
Senator Kerry, when pressed by CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS about his apparent contradiction (heh heh, just kidding. You wouldn't
expect that to happen now, would you?). Just for the sake of clarity, here are the people who firmly believed (based upon
U.S., British, and United Nations data) that Saddam had Weapons of Mass Destruction:
George W. Bush
Dick Cheney
Donald Rumsfeld
Condi Rice
Tony Blair
Bill Clinton
Hillary Clinton
John Kerry
Wesley Clark
Dick Gephardt
Hans Blix
Saddam Hussein
France
Russia
The E.U
Peace Activists
al Qaeda
The known world
Nevertheless, the "mainstream" media are still working feverishly to portray this as a "Bush Lied, They Died"
scenario. We wish them well (actually, no we don't).
