it took President George W. Bush years to correct weapons of mass destruction argument

Personally, I don't think his weapons of mass destruction argument was ever credibly debunked. They found leftovers where it was stored. There is the problem with the images of truck convoys to the Bekaa Valley in Syria. And lately, people wring their hands when they thought the Syrian government might fall and terrorists might get their hands on weapons of mass destruction, although I know Syria had them on their own.

The media is now routinely creating and sustaining false realities. That is fraud and it is far, far different from getting a fact wrong, or inadvertently omitting a fact, from time to time. Fox needs to create some kind of afternoon game show making sport of identifying false media reports and "journalist liars". Maybe that would be one way to counteract the absurdity of falsehoods aimed at women.

Excellent points about the suspected WMD’s. Remember when Iraq was liberated and the “Oil for Food” program run by the UN turned out to be a money laundering scheme of monstrous proportions? Now these same creeps will supposedly have poll-watchers in our election, you know, to watch out for abusive conservatives.

“...people wring their hands when they thought the... terrorists might get their hands on weapons of mass destruction, although I know Syria had them on their own.”

Syria has (had?) a very roubust chemicals weapons program, one they built long before the Iraq war. Their stockpiles are some of the largest in the Middle East. Syria never needed Iraqi chemical weapons. That’s why I’m bemused by the ‘hand-wringers’, as you call them, on Free Republic who can be counted on like clockwork to start bleating out the “Iraqi chemical weapons” line in Syria threads.
