18 hours of voice recordings from Hussein, Aziz, all the henchmen, FABRICATED? Yes, I suppose it's theoretically possible.

Hollywood, the bloggers, and a number of leading edge Dem front groups are already prepping the LZ with this claim, and other variations on "the DNI/DIA/CIA is manufacturing WMD evidence." (Laughable that last part: I doubt any career people at CIA would do anything but destory WMD evidence.) Breaking the WMD news will turn into another Hiss-Chambers case; no Dem will ever cop to its truthfulness, no matter how convincing the evidence is (there is plenty that's tantalizing already). The only question is whether we can convince people who don't follow the news.

How do you get to the people that don't follow the news? You can't just go to a web forum, everyone on those, pretty much agree with each other.

Whatever is found on the tapes that substantiates the existence of Saddam's WMD should be used in '06 campaign material - we all know there is a RAT segment of our population that will never believe a word that comes out of the Bushies mouth, no matter how hard the evidence is. Remember the often repeated claim right after no WMD could be found, the LLL were claiming the Bushies would actually plant WMD in Iraq?
