weapons of mass destruction
Amid all the hoo-hah and jibber-jabber and blibbety-blab about the messy war in Iraq, I'm bugged by one question that doesn't seem to have been asked by anyone in the major media:
Was the US accusing Iraq of developing any weapons—chemical, nuclear, biological, or those involving killer insects—which the US doesn't claim to ALREADY FUCKING HAVE itself?
That's really all I want to know—has any major US statesperson (I use the gender-neutral form because I'm HOT for Condoleezza Rice) publicly stated that the Iraqis were working on armaments which the Americans don't have...or at least don't know how to whip up in 5 minutes should the need arise?
The stated pretense for the invasion—rather than the obvious ones, which are control of the oil supply, a bigger US cock in the Middle East, and a tip o' the hat toward our Israeli friends—was this whole "weapons of mass destruction" scare story. So what were the Iraqis supposed to have, and is America honestly claiming that it doesn't already have a thousand of them?
Can anyone help with this?
Again, I don't really care about whether it's a righteous war. But I'm fascinated with hypocrisy, especially if it's on such a grand, bloody scale.

Bought another suit. A tie this time, too.

A few hardy souls have been e-mailing me and threatening to send "scientific studies" (i.e., philosophical treatises) claiming that "race doesn't exist." If that's true, then racists don't exist, either, and y'all shouldn't be getting so upset about them.
