Thread Name: BS: The news
Subject: RE: BS: The news
AP continues to feed last Thursday's report to all of the major news outlets, in which shurb raised the "possibility" that no WMDs would ever be found. The latest also quotes him as saying that Saddam may be dead or at least "severely wounded" which, according to the shrub would explain why some oil fields were left intact. How many times does he think we want to hear him speculate on the demise of his enemy? Anyway, here's a bit from the latest report:

Senior administration officials began this week to scale back expectations that weapons of mass destruction would be found. Bush's spokesman Ari Fleischer said Wednesday that success of the search effort depends on information provided by Iraqis who might have been involved in such programs.
    Bush did not say how likely it was that weapons had been destroyed, rather than hidden.
    "One thing's for certain, Saddam Hussein no longer threatens America with weapons of mass destruction," he said.


REMEMBER, FOLKS, YOU READ IT HERE. Prez says Saddam no longer has WMDs to threaten us with! (even if they are hidden or no longer exist, or, ummmm...I think this guy should be the "waffle" in Doonesbury!)
