I’m sure you’ve read about the apparent US plans to at least threaten Syria about its WMD. Thing is, it does have WMD. It’s had them since the 70s. It hasn’t used them, it hasn’t given them to terrorists. This is the Bush administration making itself look foolish. I think one of the posters on Metafilter said it pretty well:
I’ve said a number of times, that I might even be for this war, if only I knew what the real goal was. I’ve been told by the White House that it’s because Saddam supported Al Quaeda, because Saddam killed his own people, that Iraq is an immediate threat to the US, because Iraq has WMD, and a litany of other excuses. What’s clear to me is that the White House has never told us the truth, they’ve simply told us whatever might get the largest number of people on their side at that moment.
I agree – the only thing that’s been constant over the last few months is the feeling that we’re all being lied to.
