[ RadSafe ] Wag the dog

[Richard D. Urban Jr.]

Once again FRANZ... how many times do you need things explained to you???  QUIT listening to the European Press.  Try Fox News, or even CNN.
FIRST, I'm sure most here are familiar with the movie WAG THE DOG, which came out just before the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke, it tied perfectly into President Clinton's announcement, three days after admitting for the first time an "inappropriate relationship" with Ms. Lewinsky, that he ordered military strikes in two countries.  The movie's title comes from an old joke, shown in the opening credits of the film: "Why does a dog wag its tail? Because a dog is smarter than its tail. If the tail were smarter, the tail would wag the dog."

Why, BECAUSE...Saddam WANTED the world to think he HAD WMD.

"60 Minutes Report: Saddam Let The World Think He Had WMD" is the Headline from HUFFINGTON POST (a VERY ANTI-BUSH website)

Here's a direct link to the interview  perhaps you didn't hear about this, it happened back in November... http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/01/24/60minutes/main3749494.shtml

And best for last, perhaps Bush didn't even get it wrong, let alone lie?
...a translation of one of the captured Iraqi documents, a memorandum from the director of the Iraqi Intelligence Service to the Military Industrialization Commission discusses counterintelligence information regarding an informant with knowledge of the locations for Iraqi WMD programs.

"We were informed by one of our sources working abroad, that foreign intelligence is working to obtain information about some military and scientific targets in the Country. The undercover source provided us with a map of the targets...for the purpose of pointing out the enemy’s interest, and to enable you to maneuver by CHANGING THE LOCATIONS OF THESE TARGETS, in order to foil enemy’s plans...

What absolutely was NO LIE...Saddams invasion of Kuwait was no lie, nor the mass graves uncovered over there, nor poison gassings, nor rape and torture chambers, nor pillaging of moneys to build MULTIPLE palaces, nor...
