Real WMD v. ‘Programs’ What’s Diff?

[freesqueeze]

When the President asks a question he deserves a straight answer.

Bush admitted that he changed his story on WMD from the pre-war claims that Iraq was supposed to actually have them and now says that they are looking only for WMD “PROGRAMS”. When this discrepancy was uncovered to him in a recent TV interview he asked the bum-fuddled interviewer, “What’s the difference?”

INCREDIBLE!

I’ll tell you what the difference is Mr. President:

(1) The threat is real and imminent (what you claimed in dealing with our Senate and the American people before the war)

(2) The threat is not real and only in the planning or conceptual phase (the story your mealy- mouthed puppeteers have recently cobbled together to try and save just a minor portion of your two faces)

Case (1) was not true and (2) was probably the truth that you seem to have stumbled upon and put to use now that it’s politically expedient.

In the first case, our Senate votes to authorize anything that is required to fight this looming direct threat to the America we hold dear. You send our troops into Iraq, lots of flag stickers are sold, and the direct threat to American soil is stamped out.

Pshew! That was close!

Only there was no WMD and little concrete evidence of the programs. There was no looming threat to the American way of life from Saddam.

In the second case, the truth, if put before the senate before the war might have resulted in a different vote sparing the lives of the growing number of our Service personnel.

It makes a huge difference to the families and loved ones of those lost in this war you wanted bad enough to lie about. You should drop by and meet them sometime.

So you either lied or you were just dead wrong. I could accept either story. But this stand you’re taking now that there is no difference between the actual weapons and plans to build them in the future is ludicrous!

This shuffle-step move of yours has been under reported.

If we only actually had a liberal TV media then the majority of Americans would know what an outrageous liar you are and we could all look forward to an honest statesman moving into the White House in ‘05.

1. Exactly! And here's why Bush* of all people should know ---

It's the same as the difference between actual government asssistance to the poor and "programs" that pretend to help the poor but actually only serve to employ a few political hacks with otherwise unmarketable skills at inflated salaries.

2. One is a threat to the U.S. and regional stability

and the other is indistinguisable from Cheech Marin's inventory.

5. I Didn't Quite Get That

(1) We agree

(2) Same as Cheech's inventory? Would that be weed? Are you comparing the latest version of the story from the Bush White House with the word 'program' inserted to a bag of sticky icky?

Or could it be Chong's inventory. I found out that he owned a business recently when he was busted for selling bongs over the net in the latest round up of potential Democratic voters.

Could you explain? I still don't get it.

3. He meant "what's the difference to me?"

To him, nothing. He got away with it.

4. "Saddam is the ultimate WMD"

I heard more than one right wing radio host claim this over the past week.

6. "programs" is a vague word which can mean whatever Bush/PNAC....

...want it to mean... Just like their versions of the words "freedom" and "terrorism".
