It seems near impossible to convince Bush supporters they've been duped, when all they have to do is log on to the Washington Times or FoxNC and get the GOP spin on events as they unfold, while at the same time we're stuck here in the REAL world - and have to live with the consequences of their warped world view if they actually vote based on their brainwashed misconceptions...

Let's just hope there's more of us who see what's really going on by November 2...

Saddam worked secretly on WMDs
By Guy Taylor
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Saddam Hussein's goal through the 1990s and until the 2003 U.S. invasion was to end U.N. sanctions on Iraq, while working covertly to restore the country's ability to produce weapons of mass destruction, a report by the chief U.S. weapons inspector says.
"Saddam wanted to re-create Iraq's WMD capability -- which was essentially destroyed in 1991 -- after sanctions were removed and Iraq's economy stabilized, but probably with a different mix of capabilities," the report said.

Iraq's Illicit Weapons Gone Since Early '90s, CIA Says
Hussein wanted to make banned arms, but his ability to do so was 'essentially destroyed' after the Gulf War, the chief inspector reports.

WASHINGTON -- Saddam Hussein did not produce or possess any weapons of mass destruction for more than a decade before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq last year, according to a comprehensive CIA report released Wednesday.

Hussein intended to someday reconstitute his illicit programs and rebuild at least some of his weapons if United Nations sanctions were eased and he had the opportunity, the report concluded. But the Iraqi regime had no formal, written strategy to revive the banned programs after sanctions, and no staff or infrastructure in place to do so, the investigators found.
