6. I'm not sure finding WMD's in Iraq will have any efect at this point.
There are so many people pissed off at Bush over other issues, that I don't think suddenly uncovering WMD's will sway very many people toward him. I think most people voting for Bush are doing so despite the overwhelming evidence that the Iraq war was a based on a lie.

My boss at my part-time job shocked me the other day when she told me she wouldn't think of voting for anyone but Bush. She totally approves of the Iraq invasion, and basically feels the US needs to squash like bugs all other countires that present the slightest challenge to us. She sees the world as dangerous to her children and grandchildren, and that's all she cares about. And I imagine there are a lot of people like her around. Given how both "sides" perceive the istuation (IMO), I doubt the weapons matter now.

On another point: I do wonder, if they're going to plant WMD's, where will they do it that's in any way credible when they're "discovered"? I mean, it was a good six months or more ago that our own military gave up searching for them because, as they admitted, they had run out of places to look.
