Speaking of WMDs in Iraq...
Dec. 19th, 2005 10:44 pmYeah, speaking of which. There are, really, only two possibilities:
1. Bush was lying, and the inspectors were all telling the truth, that Saddam didn't have any. Or:
2. He had them, and was so incredibly principled and against their use that he refused to use them even when facing inevitable defeat and death or capture at the hands of his hated enemy.
Based on what little I know of the character and past actions of Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush, I'm not leanin' toward option #2 here.

Anything like that out there?
