Well, I reckon if onw were to search the backhills of Wes Ginny or Ohio or New Jersey, they'd find lots of barrels of toxic stuff that folkseither can't afford to be sanitized or don't care to. Heck, I had two such 55 gallon drums on my commercial property, Had dirt in'em but the haz mat companies wanted about $2000 a barrel to dispose of 'em. Yeah, that makes $4000 for two old oil drums filled with, ahhh, dirt. Well, I did a little more checkin' on 'em and learnt that this dirt was taken from two monitoring wells dug on my property years before to test for oil contamination from several submerged tanks on properties up hill from me. But them two barrels looks real scary under the focus of the governemnt... Hmmmm.....

Now if there's one thing I've learnt about the goverment is that when they want to turn something into a Federal case, then, by golly, they are gonna do just that. This is exactly what they are gonna do in Iraq. They're gonna find evidence that the Iraqia do the same thing as their American counterparts. They put nasty stuff in barrels and hide 'em. Now is this stuff that was found, ahhhh, weapons grade stuff. I seriously doubt it. And I think, unless the Bush folks can pull off one the *switches of the century*, I am of thre belief that independent inspectors will find nothing more sinister than the same crap that occurs 'round these parts with folks hidin' nasty stuff, but not WMD.

And as for the Al Qeudi connection, GUEST, your evidence is no more than smoke and mirrors. This entire peice has been looked at be so many folks that it is beyond amusing and your *facts* just don't hold up under scrutinty.

And, lastly, yeah, Bush is a big time liar. The fact that he may be manipulated by folks who satnd to profit enormously from his lies, does not excuse him. Supidity is not a justification for lieing.
