*My* "coherent rationale"??? The WMDs were *your* (and Bush's)
rationale for thousands and thousands of deaths and injuries resulting
from the invasion of Iraq. Then when they didn't find WMDs, then the
rationale was switched to "freedom is on the march". Unfortunately
for the Iraqis, it has marched their country into deadly, violent
anarchy.

And the fact that we cannot prove you didn't rape that little girl
doesn't mean that you didn't... guilty until proven innocent, right?
It's the American way... NOT.

It's not "playing politics" to demand verification and proof, dude.
Especially when it results in the destruction and death we have seen
in Iraq. I submit it is you and your brain-washers who are "playing
politics" with people's lives.

Yeah, he had plans... so what. North Korea has plans, Pakistan has
plans, the Chechens have plans. The facts indicate that Saddam was
incapable of carrying out any of his so-called "plans", which were
more like fantasies, given the state of things in Iraq after the first
Gulf War.

Yes, corruption knows no boundaries... however since I am an American
citizen, I can bitch all I want about American corporations that get
favored treatment from our corrupt American leadership. Whatever
happened at the UN, I have no voting input there.
