You know Al Franken told a joke that basically sums up the right-wing's answer to their massive failure at Al Qaqaa. Guy borrows a plate from his neighbor, and when he gets it home he drops it and it breaks. He sneaks back into his neighbor's house and puts the broken plate in the cupboard. His neighbor confronts him about it. And the guys says "I never borrowed your plate. When I got it, it was broken. And when I returned it, it was in one piece."
The righties are scrambling to invent any lie they can about these weapons, and they're all contradicting each other. They hadn't been there since 2002. They were moved by Saddam Hussein weeks before the war. They were taken by looters between the beginning of the war and when the troops got there. And now, it's
THE RUSSIANS.
God Elder, where have you been for the last 20 years? Even Rumsfeld said that was baseless. What have I told you about posting garbage from Drudge and the Washington Times?
And of course the right hit a new low even for them when Giuliani blamed the troops. Troops don't know where the weapons are, they don't know what to guard, and there weren't enough people to guard them even if they did know to. And it makes me sick that after all these lies by the right about Kerry blaming the troops, and how Kerry turned his back on the military, you have this scumbucket Giuliani, who did not serve, trying to foist the blame that rightly belongs on the shoulders of Bush onto the people that Bush sent, underprepared, to fight and die in that hellhole.
I can't believe the so-called "liberal" New York Times endorsed that far-right puppet.
