Oh, Those WMD, Um, Maybe, Um, I Think

Many prominent conservative bloggers are wondering aloud why this isn’t a bigger one in the news right now. Personally, I think it’s being overshadowed by this.

    Now that I’ve fallen from #421 to #499 on the Ecosystem Traffic Ranking, I guess I’m even further from being a prominent blogger, but I was wondering about that too.

We weren’t even smart enough to secure nuclear facilities and ammo dumps. Good luck making that Saddam’s fault.

    Saddam shipped out WMDs
    My. My, my. My, my, my. Isn’t this interesting. The United Nations has determined that Saddam Hussein shipped weapons of mass destruction components as well as medium-range ballistic missiles before, during and after the U.S.-led war against Iraq in 2…
