Well, while you work on your groupthing let’s review the facts:

FACT: Saddam Hussein had WMDs.

He used them...several times.

FACT: The ceasefire agreement that ended hostilities required me to prove he had destroyed them all.

FACT: He did not, in fact, prove he destroyed them all.

FACT: When we invaded we did find prohibited weapons and yes, hundreds of shells filled with Chemical weapons.

FACT: When we invaded we did find documentation by which he had preserved the knowledge base for rebuilding all WMD programs.

FACT: When we invaded we did find documentation by which he had made known his intention to re-build his WMD programs after sanctions were lifted or as opportunity presented.

Which of those facts do you consider someone else’s “Trutherism”?

I don’t give a damn what the media writes, or what any administration official states. I have these facts here, and even they have no right to their own facts.

Of course. He was our ally. We gave him the anthrax cultures and aided his war against Iran.

It's like asking to prove you've stopped beating your wife. And to operate pesticide facilities, you will always have the dual-use technology required for basic nerve gases.

The U.N., under whose auspices Bush wanted to invade, rejected that there was adequate evidence that Saddam possessed WMD. Since our invasion, we have found none despite some really loopy threads here at FR.

FACT: When we invaded we did find documentation by which he had preserved the knowledge base for rebuilding all WMD programs.

You can find much of that same info at any university library. It's not cutting-edge science.

FACT: When we invaded we did find documentation by which he had made known his intention to re-build his WMD programs after sanctions were lifted or as opportunity presented.

If sanctions were lifted, then it would be legal anyway. Of course, we would have vetoed any such attempt at the U.N.

Again, you dismiss entirely official fact-finding bodies, even those of the GOP or the administration. You have the right to a private truth. I'm not objecting a great deal since it's not unusual. I just think you ought to admit it.

You guys made me decide I need a new tagline. It's a quote from our president. You should like it since you seem to agree with the thought expressed.

[old tagline: "Rudy: tough on terror, scared of Iowa, wets himself over YouTube"]
