"...George W. Bush, during his State of the Union address in January of 2003, looked solemnly into the television cameras and told the American people that Iraq was most assuredly in possession of 26,000 liters of anthrax, 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, 30,000 munitions to deliver the stuff, mobile biological weapons labs, and uranium from Niger for use in their "robust" nuclear weapons programs. One month later, Colin Powell stood before the United Nations and fleshed out these claims in an address that will go down in history as one of the biggest bag-jobs ever perpetrated by anyone, ever."

I still remember their "proof" of the trailers was artist's renditions because our spy satellites could not locate one single trailer anywhere in the country! So they drew a picture! And that was proof.
"You don't want the proof to be a mushroom cloud over (not, Omaha,not Butte, not Cheyanne, Not new Orleans) NEW YORK CITY!"

"You are either with us or with the terrorists..."

Thank you WilliamPitt, always excellent information. You inspired me back then and today still!
