"This is absolute ignorant, disingenuous and utterly wrong."
Don't presume to lecture me on what the weapons are.
"There ARE or ARE NOT weapons there."
This is true when discussing whether or not there was a treaty violation, but treaty violations were not the administration's stated purpose for invasion, and it is ignorant, disingenuous, and utterly wrong to imply that it was.
When discussing the case given for war, this statement is false dichotomy.
In fact, you make my point. The term "Weapons of Mass Destruction" is an all-inclusive rhetorical trick where Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld could stand at the podium and talk about impending mushroom clouds, and later say "yeah this toxic chemical that many many orders of magnitude less destructive than an atomic bomb, yeah that is exactly the same thing as the nucs we were scaring the shit out of everyone with before the war." Which is, not to put too fine a point on it, equine excrement.
"We cannot loose [sic],"
Too late.
Don't forget the lies to go with that continued failure.
Incidentally, all of your victory rhetoric gets old after a few years.
