Uh-huh. But what, precisly, was the threat? We suspected that Saddam had WMD's. We still haven't found any, though we will. Of the that, I'm sure. Even if they weren't in the country when the war started. The problem with preemptive strikes is that...  [Read More]

Weapons of Mass Destruction will be found in Iraq. Even if they weren't there during the war. If I were Darth Rumsfeld, I'd ship over some of our own WMD's that were scheduled for destruction and bury them in the desert. Then I'd have an Iraqi ag...  [Read More]

The problem is that the U.S. media seems afraid to publish any story that would seem dissenting. They are, after all, controlled by several major corporations. Here's an article I found today on BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2921345.stm...  [Read More]
