You're right.

More like Jackie Collins.

But let's backtrack.

all of this fog... this fog of wmds...

What fog?

Other than some cache's of sarin filled shells and several missiles, overall WMDs were not found.

This thread's topic is discussing whether there were any and if so, what happened to them. Now indeed that's foggy.

all of this, along with the other twisting of intelligence information...

Who is twisting what exactly?

all of it seems be evaporating right before the eyes of a shocked and awed public...

It's been quite a while since Bush's administration has admitted that they cannot find anything. This didn't happen yesterday.

the recent events concerning the cia leaks, and much, much more, will be quite revealing over the next couple of days (weeks)...

Which leaks are you referring to? Let us in on the Beltway gossip.

a lot of you people must really learn to recognize when you are being prospected... when you are being fed a line of bs... for that is one of the tools of the trade for the forces of ignorance and stupidity... to put up a fog in an attempt to blind you to the facts, and therefore, to the truth of the matter...

That's very foggy on it own.

you must also learn to recognize the subtle racism and bias that also rears it's head during times like this... they are different, therefore it is ok to see them all as the enemy... god is on our side...

Gee..... what do we do with the right wing aethiests?

every proponent of hate and intolerance has used this sort of thing to seduce the weak of mind into their legion... don't be victims of this sort of stuff... see through the fog... don't let unfounded fears be your guide... don't always accept everything at face value, especially if it is on tv... try and quantify the source of facts, as well as the information that those sources present as facts...

So when documents are made public indicating that something was being covered up by Iraq, we should ignore these sources?

Are you claiming the FMSO document archive is phoney?

don't fall willing victim to someone elses agenda...

at the very least, if you are gonna be wrong about something... be wrong because that is your choice, and not someone elses...

one wmd... just one... that's all i wanna see...

At the end of 2002, the UN itself still reported tons of WMDs as unaccounted for, including:

• Nearly four tons of VX nerve agents
  
  Growth media for 20,000 litres of biological warfare agents
  
  15,000 shells for use in biological warfare
  
  6,000 chemical warfare bombs
  
  Unspecified amounts of nuclear material and information

Who was lying then? The UN? The US government? The BBC? Who?
