Gee, I guess his "plan" is working perfectly, considering that he's gotten his ass booted out of his leadership position, we are still running around all over his country, and he's running scared for his life. What a brilliant tactician! I'm sure he's cackling with glee and rubbing his hands together wickedly from within his cardboard box.
I do agree with the idea though that either way, whether he had the weapons or not, something doesn't add up with how he reacted. He either had them and failed to use them for reasons I can't even fathom, or he had gotten rid of them long ago and was simply being an ass for reasons that I also cannot fathom.
But the fact remains that Bush CLEARLY spoke too soon about the WMDs. Even if we DO find them now, it'll be a stroke of luck, not a matter of Bush, Powell, or anyone else having concrete intelligence on them beforehand.
We were deceived. And for those of you who don't realize that, I'd like to convince you to trade me a $20 bill for this shiny new nickel I have here that has a unique one-of-a-kind stain on it. A rare collector's item!
