Blogcritics.org: Found: WMD

Blogcritics.org: Found: WMD: "We finally discovered those WMD! The cache included:

...100 explosives, including 60 fully functional pipe bombs, as well as briefcase bombs, land mine components, detonation cord, trip wire, and binary explosives; machine guns and other illegal weapons; some 500,000 rounds of ammunition; a stockpile of chemical agents, including a large quantity of sodium cyanide and acids such as hydrochloric, nitric and acetic acids...

Oh, wait.

Forget it.

That stuff wasn't discovered in Iraq. It was discovered in Tyler, Texas, and it was possessed by right-wing extremists.

Bo-ring!

How much of a threat could chemical weapons be to U.S. residents if these weapons are being held by terrorists within the borders of the U.S.? Clearly, balsa-wood toy gliders in Iraq pose a much greater threat to you and me.

Please, can't we have another story about how we discovered WMD in Iraq, followed by the inevitable retraction? Those are ever so much fun, and the case for the invasion of Iraq, which has killed over 400 Americans and maimed 11,000, gets stronger and stronger with each phantom WMD discovery.

Anyway, the story we're not hearing all that much about is that cyanide-bomb plot, which involves real, actual terrorists and real, actual cyanide that could have killed real, actual American people.

Of course, the problem is that these terrorists aren't the kind that the casting agents at the Bush Administration and the media companies are looking for these days. Wrong type.

For one thing, they worship Jesus Christ, not a 'demon-obsessed pedophile', as the former head of the Southern Baptist Convention described Mohammed."
