hmmmm, if they had it in October, they could have released it then

OR IS IT THE NEWS ABOUT THE AL QUAEDA IN IRAQ ThAT HAS POPPED UP IN THE NEWS???? This is big stuff, but is getting hardly any play in the press. basically escaped taliban/al quaeda are now in northern iraq. ... and where they possess chemical weapons. That seems to me to be the 'missing link' needing to tie terrorists, WMD, and Saddam into one package.

Nahh. I've said all along that GWB is just waiting for the right weather. Which is within about the next month.

Also the "smoking gun" released just before the attack gives the opposition no time to recover and find some other reason for opposing war.

the RAT reply to this argument (as they have a reply to every argument) is that Saddam has no control over Northern Iraq. Whether that is true or not, it is an excuse and will be broadcast as gospel in the front page editorials of every newspaper and headline and donahue show from now till next christmas.

Mr Bush needs something Absolutely Concrete... something along the lines of Saddam photographed posing next to a live warhead and bioweapons lab in his boxing shorts in a recliner.
