<p>Very interesting. Maybe we were duped but for pretty good reason.</p>

<p>You have to think about it. How many deadlines did President Bush give before he actually declared war on Iraq? He did not take Bush seriously. He apparently lied to prevent an Iranian invasion.</p>

<p>It was either taking it up the butt from the US, or taking it up the butt from Iran. Either way he was screwed.</p>

<p>Well of course he did! It was his only defense! Duh! (Too bad he didn’t give Colin Powell the pictures.)</p>

<p>(So much for “intelligence”. He told this AFTER he was captured…)</p>

<p>The Soviets used to parade fake missiles across the Red Square during their Mayday celebrations… Scared the cr@p out of the West. Of course, they had the real ones, too, just not that big and impressive looking.</p>

<p>Yes Mini you know all and knew all. Must be great.</p>

<p>I agree we were duped, but not by Sadam. </p>

<p>Has anyone seen the number of lies committed by members of our esteemed presidential administration: [Democracy</a> Now! | 935 Lies (and Counting): Study Documents Bush Admin’s False Statements Preceding Iraq War](<a href=“http://www.democracynow.org/2008/1/24/935_lies_and_counting_study_counts]Democracy”>935 Lies (and Counting): Study Documents Bush Admin’s False Statements Preceding Iraq War | Democracy Now!)</p>

<p>Uh oh… Center for Public Integrity and ensuing partisan mudslinging and accusations of bias alert.</p>

<p>We were mainly duped by the Bush Administration. I’d figure that US Intelligence would be much more intelligent. Now we have thousands of troops dying in Iraq for something or another. “Iraqi Freedom” is what they call it now.</p>

<p>“Yes Mini you know all and knew all. Must be great.”</p>

<p>It sure is. I listened to the weapons inspectors on the ground. Wasn’t too tough.</p>

<p>Sorry to be late to the party here, but I happened to find this as I was going back several pages…</p>

<p>“It sure is. I listened to the weapons inspectors on the ground. Wasn’t too tough.”</p>

<p>So did you hear them also say that it was likely WMDs would not have been found in that desert whether he had them or not? In other words, they could still be there, but with the vast desert space we’ll never know.</p>

<p>But we won’t look at declassified information either…</p>

<p>Well, joke turned out to be on Saddam. If he hadn’t been pulling our leg, he and his sons would still be enjoying the high life in Iraq.</p>

12

<p>It’s all so sad. I personally know one of the weapons inspectors and that person was convinced there were weapons they just couldn’t find.</p>

<p>Don’t get the joke. Can someone explain it to me?</p>
