Now that they have captured the man in charge, will they find the WMDs??

Supposedly no one knew more about the chemical warfare program than "Chemical Ali". Will we finally now locate some of those WMDs? Although he was positively identified after the bombing of his home in southern Iraq several weeks ago, it was reported today that "Chemical Ali" was indeed captured. Who was the person that we positively identified as Chemical Ali and who did we actually blow up with our superior bomb power?

1. When shrub drops below 50% they will find them.

He's allready at 52%.

3. Wrong,

When Schleprock drops below 50% they will announce that they have found them.

2. I thought he was simply the guy who used them, not produced them.

4. I think you are correct JanMichael...

But would he not know where they came from or where they were produced? One would think so...

5. I don't know where the beef in my burgers come from! Or the gas in my...

...truck either!

Heh. Seriously though, he may know of a period in time when the used what we gave them, and perhaps a time when they made their own, but I truly do not believe that they had any substantial program left.

They can make a big deal out of his capture, give him a "most Wanted" playing card and cutsey nick-name, but it's nothing but smoke being blown up our collective butt.

6. But if you were poisoning people with those burgers...

You would probably ask about their origin, would you not? Perhaps not?

7. Maybe not! Maybe my boss simply gave them to me and told me to do it!

PS~ I'm just shooting the shit here, frankly I have no idea what significance the CA "arrest" will have. All I do know is that every other "lead" has been bogus.

8. More revisionist history

The news media trumpeted Ali's "death" for several days during the war. Now it never happened and nobody is responsible. As for who we actually did blow to bits: who cares . . . everybody knows our smart bombs only kill evil-doers.
