Mine are funny and they do make a point in this thread.
Rather then try to dissect unprovable allegations and unknown evidence, we need to think 'to what end'.
To what end would this be if it were truly some sort of Brown shirt type of administration? Silencing some AP reporter, creating some sort of possible backlash for what? No gain in the polls, no gain really any where.
I am always bemused by people who put this administration at the 'idiot' level and the 'evil genius' level when its really quite neither.
Some things should be self evident. If they had found WMD's in Iraq about 80% of the issues would have gone away. We have been told by many how they lied to us blah blah blah, war crimes blah blah blah. Well if they were lying, why in holy hell didn't they plant some WMD's? How freaking hard would it be for these guys to plant a few dozen jugs of Anthrax? We could have even used past samples to culture to show it was the same Iraqi strain they had used before. Instead, nothing new. Now some say they were there and they were moved out by convoy to Syria prior to the war, maybe, by default WMD's are small, maybe not, others say they were never there, maybe maybe not, but it doesn't really matter. What matters is none were found and if the administration was lying, you can be for damn sure someone would have set up a cache to be 'found' by innocent and eager troops.
We know what the issue is here Charlatan and it ain't me, I'm not the other part of the problem, I am the lightening rod
