What WMD?

The nuanced Al Jazeera flash cartoon Lileks links to today is bizarre in its blatant yet somehow unintentional presentation of the new New York City skyline since 9/11.

What an ironic placement of Bush fishing for WMD, right smack in the place where a giant hole surrounded by a chain link fence now lies. So much [...]

Revisiting Old Vile Claims Once More

I’ve stopped reading Instapundit on a daily basis, instead hitting his site about once a week to get the latest on whatever blogging fad he’s linking at the moment. So I missed a post from last Thursday in which he addresses the leftist fallacy that freeing Iraq and making way for democracy in that country [...]

Terri Dead, Terri Not Here

Terri has died. This may sound callous, but may we move on? I think it’s time we had another national controversy to occupy our minds. Bush is going to make a statement about her…at the beginning of a WMD speech.
I think Buzzmachine’s got it right. This has been political to the end. Makes me sick [...]

Out-Plamed

Piper has some valuable commentary on the long-forgotten former CIA agent Valerie Plame case, in which allegations of exposing her as a “covert” agent were lobbed against journalist Robert Novak, who wrote a story about her involvement with her husband Joseph Wilson’s trip to Niger to investigate tales of uranium yellowcake supposedly purchased by Saddam [...]

WMD Files

Douglas Hanson believes the missing WMD stockpile case is not yet closed.
To assert that the scientists bypassed the Baathist infrastructure, the Iraqi Intelligence Service, and Special Republican Guard commanders, all the while fooling Saddam is, to put it mildly, a real stretch. To this day, many still fear the consequences of cooperating with the [...]

Quick Bits

Physicians are calling out the abortion industry on partial birth abortions. Says a number of reputable doctors:
A number of reputable doctors’ groups say there is no medical reason for a pregnant woman to have a partial-birth abortion. In fact, such abortions, which are at the center of a national legal debate, can be dangerous [...]

No WMD?

What if there really are no WMD? Daniel Pipes comes up with some intriguing conclusions. It’s not how you think.
Suppose for an instant that no weapons of mass destruction ever turn up in Iraq. Of course, WMD might well still appear, but let’s imagine that intelligence estimates were completely wrong about Saddam [...]

Iraqi Scientists Targeted

I’m not saying this is proof of WMD existence in Iraq, by any means, but you gotta admit that it’s a little weird that top Iraqi scientists are being targeted if they collaborate with the US in the search for WMD. If they don’t exist, why would scientists fear for their lives for telling [...]

WMD Links

I’m short on post time today, so instead I’m going to link to a couple of articles relating to WMD in the news which may be helpful to those who haven’t been suckered in by the seriously skewed melee surrounding the No-See-Ums.
First, Clifford May reflects on where the WMDs may have gotten to, and notes [...]

Hillary On Bush

I meant to post this the other day, but somehow lost track of it in the thick of things. I’m still trying to figure out the political angle here, but in the meantime, the facts are these: Hillary Clinton is (surprise, surprise) defending Bush’s stance on Iraq and WMD’s.

“The intelligence from Bush 1 to [...]
