Why do I get the feeling that this 11 percent is part of the 14 percent who’ll believe anything BushCo and their MSM talking heads spout?

I was reading Neal Boortz’s webpage where he states that WMD definitely has been found in Iraq and downplays Democratic fact-based statements that the artillery shells located by our forces in post-2003 Iraq have all been depleted, degraded, old, old, old, munitions from the Iran/Iraq war waged during the 1980s.

So, where’s all the huge amounts of WMD that Colin Powell (and by extension BushCo) said would be found? And not only tons and tons of the stuff, but highly lethal sarin and mustard gas missiles?

Anyway, then Boortz made a typical wingnut analogy, saying that if what the U.S. had found was NUKES, even if from the 1980s, no one would say that no WMD had been found in Iraq.

I agree. NUKES found in Iraq would definitely indicate that Saddam Hussein had WMD. But no NUKES have ever been found, just old 1980s-era munitions scattered hither and yon around Iraq that have leaked much of their poisonous gas in the intervening decades and lost almost all their potency.

In other words, Boortz is making an apples and oranges analogy. But, of course, gullible wingnuts will fall for it everytime. As apparently either 14 percent or 11 percent of U.S. citizens have once again.

The Bush administration is the most dangerous enemy our liberal, democratic nation has ever faced.

“Me, I go right into West or South San like I own the muddafuggin town, and nobody messes with me. A white woman in her 40s. I’ve seen them mug your classic scared white coward bigot, but me–left completely alone. Why? Because I didn’t see the locals as the dreaded OTHER.

Exactly. You’ve pinpointed the precursor of violence. Not seeing the locals as the “dreaded OTHER” is peace. Dharmic words, thanks.

fran! Good to see you back, kiddo! How’s your brother coming along?

Richmond — (shaking my head nearly off) you’ll be in our thoughts, is all I can say. May you have some epiphanic experience a la TRex as a reward!

i grew up during the 60’s, when america had a real enemy…the soviet union: a country 8 times larger than our own, with a real government, a real army, the third biggest population in the world, and more nuclear war heads than needed to blow our entire nation to smithereens.

i managed to survive without having a nervous breakdown every two weeks; we all did.

as i said on my blog, we are just sick and tired of it all.

imho, this is the tact the dems need to take in the coming months: let’s stop being afraid, and start taking action. let’s find bin laden, and prosecute the terrorists. let’s stop flaying around like chickens with our heads cut off.

let’s be adults again.

I blogged about exactly the same issue on Kos today.

The Nov. 2005 Harpers also covered the same issue.

See my blog for more, too.

One more thing – I often wonder how Steve Roberts can stand to live with that prim and proper prig Cokie anymore, but that kind of speculatin’ is probably beyond my ken.

(just sayin’…)

How can Laura stand to live with George?
