So now they've found the smoking gun: missile plans? What, they were going to throw the plans at US soldiers and kill them with paper cuts?
Here are some of the previous smoking guns:
The Drones of Death, toy planes held together by duct tape The Uranium Orders of Death, forged The Dossier of Death, plagiarized from the Internet, old, out of date The Winnebagos of Death, canvas-sided trailers for producing hydrogen The Missiles of Death, went five miles too far, if they had no payload The Swimming Pool of Death, a swimming pool The Playground of Death, a children's playground The Nerve Gas of Death, fertilizer The Bunker of Death, which was filled with vacuum cleaners...
Sorry, Shrubbie, you said there were millions of pounds of weapons. Where are they? A plan for missiles hardly qualifies as an imminent threat.
President Bush shot back Tuesday at those suggesting his administration inflated prewar intelligence data on Iraq's weapons program. He said the most important fact was that "the people of Iraq are free."
He's not even really trying to defend the notion that Iraq definitely, positively, certainly had weapons of mass destruction. All that matters is that the Iraqi people are free.
Free of their homes, free of their jobs, free of clean water, free of sanitation, free of decent health care, free of safe streets, free of their oil, free of their limbs...
