How many times can he play this card?
Let's go pre-invasion for a moment. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that Saddam really did have the thousands of tons of chemical weapons the Bush administration says he had. And let's say that he really did have all the "nookyoolur" (as George W. pronounces it) capabilities they said he did. Now, given that we haven't found any of it, we have to ask, what happened to it?
Perhaps it was all moved. That would have taken a whole lot of trucks to transport all that stuff. We had spy planes in the air over Iraq constantly, and I don't recall seeing any reports of convoys of trucks leaving Iraq. It seems to me that if the administration had film of trucks leaving Iraq they could point to that and say, "See, Saddam's trying to get the stockpiles out of the country." But there was nothing like that reported in the news. Colin Powell was busy showing us pictures of "mobile chemical weapons plants" that turned out to be nothing of the sort.
If Saddam didn’t move the WMD out of the country, what happened to it? If it didn’t leave Iraq, it’s got to be in Iraq. Now, we’ve owned that country for how long now? There isn’t a square inch of Iraq that wasn’t open to our inspections after the invasion, we owned that country and could look anywhere we fucking wanted to. Still, we find nothing.
Bush is such a liar.
