I don't know what to think about this...
WMD's found in Iraq
1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium
1,500 gallons of chemical weapons agents
Chemical warheads containing cyclosarin (a nerve agent five times more deadly than sarin gas)
Over 1,000 radioactive materials in powdered form meant for dispersal over populated areas
This is only a partial list of the horrific weapons verified to have been recovered in Iraq to date. Yet, some Americans overwhelmingly believe U.S. and coalition forces found no weapons of mass destruction.
The question is... Why do they believe this lie?
One word: "disinformation."
It's a weapon that is used on all of us over and over every day of our lives. But what is the reason for this?
The deliberately suppressed list above is one reason. Here's another: Have you heard that Osama bin Laden is on kidney dialysis? I'll bet you have. Much of the Western media report bin Laden's presumed affliction as a matter of fact -- and most Americans believe it. But it's just not true.
Now, you may well be thinking: "Why would the news media want to make me believe that Osama bin Laden is a very sick and perhaps dying man?" Well, here's why...
The news media are - for the most part -- against the Iraq War. The image of an aged, 6-foot, 8-inch Arab limping from cave to cave, trailing a camel loaded down with dialysis equipment -- eluding George W. Bush and the most powerful military in the world -- appeals to them enormously.
And so the myth lives on -- for seven years now! -- long past the normal life expectancy of patients hooked up to dialysis in the best hospitals, let alone the freezing, rugged mountains of the Afghan-Pakistani border.
There is a name for this phenomenon -- disinformation.
The term refers to the deliberate dissemination of false information (and the intentional omission of true information) for the purpose of confusing rivals or influencing public opinion.
Indeed, the false conclusion that "Bush lied, there were no WMDs in Iraq," is the main supporting claim of the anti-war Left. Without it, the movement collapses.
Millions upon millions of Americans unknowingly accept blatant falsehoods as facts due to the power and prevalence of disinformation. Discuss this topic at BentonCountyIssues.com

Your report on the WMD found in Iraq, is true, we had photo's here in the "You Gotta See This" threads during the war.
The liberals on the radio will tell whopper lies, it is amazing to listen to some of them, when you have heard the speaker they are talking about yourself and know what was said.
In my opinion, it is all part of the left's plan for America.
