I would explain this to you, but you are not asking a serious question and I doubt you want the truth. Perhaps you thought the WMD would be on shelves carefully labled at large WMD shopping centers? Don't hold your breath hoping the US won't find them and that Bush will look bad. It ain't gonna happen so get your kleenex stocked up and be ready to boo hoo for a long time while the dems stay a minority.

I like the tone of your reply!! :) I don't want the Dems back, good grief, we have enough problems. But every WMD siting that turns out to be something benign will make it that much harder for the pubbies. Freepers have been so busy cheerleading this war that they have forgetten the longer term. The battle isn't for Bagdad in 03, but DC in 04. If this doesn't go picture perfect, it will give the Dems a stick to beat the pubbies with. This is something that Freepers don't want to hear. The mistake that GW made is the same one made by his father. They both started their wars a year too soon. Bush senior left the Gulf War with an approval rating of 90% IIRC, yet lost the election. Why? Because there was a year in between for the patriotic glow to fade away, revealing in the shadows beneath the troubled economy. Bush Sr was always clumsy domestically, and with his broken promise on taxes (read my lips...thank you Ms Noonan!!) this sent Clintawn to the Whitehouse. It might happen again. Once this war is over, (soon I think) the patriotism will drop away and people will have the usual domestic concerns (all politics are local). Gore has already postioned himself with the "I would not have started this war, I would have let the inspectors do their job" speech. He and Hillary are positioning themselves for the 04 ticket, and if Bush stumbles, we will be stuck with them for 8 years...thanks to the duplicity of the major media. (This glorious fifth estate, the watchdog of the politicos, votes about 90% for the Dems. Such objectivism!!!)
