My manager (who is a democrat) thinks that Bush started the hurricanes just so he could give federal aid to fla to help sway the vote in his direction.
He (manager) said there must be a machine down there. (in caribbean)
I laughed and asked him if he thought Bush put a huge flock of butterflies somewhere in the southern hemisphere. (chaos theory)
"We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories. And we found more weapons as time went on. I never believed that we'd just tumble over weapons of mass destruction in that country. But for those who said we hadn't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they were wrong, we found them. We knew where they were."
Well, I feel better about the war now. Here I thought they didn't find any WMD's.
Maybe all Bush supporters should go fight in Iraq and help pay for all the hurricane damages out of their own pocket.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
Easy for me, I can sum it up in two reasons:
1) I did not join the military
2) I have paid for hurricane damages out of my own pocket! [!]
hey ryno - Lol, that's silly. I noticed that every single 'quote' on that link conveniently lacks credible source info, i.e., NAMES and DATES! Your particular quote (assuming it is accurate), if made the day after the following article appeared, would have generated an entirely different response than when uttered today, no? Let me know where I can get a pair of those rose-colored 20/20 hindsite goggles, will ya? I've been lookin' everwhere!

NEW YORK, March 20, 2003
CBS News
<font color="red">The missiles Saddam Hussein fired at U.S. and British forces in Kuwait appear to have been the same weapons he either claimed not to possess or agreed to destroy.</font id="red">
American, British and Kuwait military officials said Iraq fired at least three missiles Thursday — though they differed on how many of them were Scuds, which have been banned by the United Nations.
<font color="red">The first salvos were both a telling sign of Iraq's hidden weapons and a frightening reminder that Saddam still has the capability to deliver chemical or biological warheads.</font id="red">
The uncertainty surrounding Iraq's potentially deadly arsenal led U.S. and British troops as well as Kuwaiti citizens to pull out their gas masks and protective suits when air raid sirens alerted them that missiles were incoming.
Kuwaiti officials said the first two were Scuds, similar to the ones the Iraqis fired in the 1991 Gulf War.
The Pentagon described the two as "tactical ballistic missiles" that were intercepted and destroyed by the PAC-3 — the latest Patriot anti-missile system.
A third missile, described by Kuwaiti military officials as an Iraqi Al Samoud, broke in two and fell near the Kuwaiti border.
<font color="red">Iraq told U.N. inspectors in its December weapons declaration that it no longer had the Scud missiles it used against Iran in the 1980s and against Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Israel during the 1991 Gulf War.</font id="red">
At the end of that war, weapons inspectors accounted for all but two Scuds the Iraqis claimed it had. But the inspectors believed Iraq could have been hiding more of the long-range missiles, U.N. officials said.
Scuds have an average range of 188 miles, and the Iraqis also modified some to fly up to 375 miles.
U.N. resolutions passed after the Gulf War banned Iraq from having chemical, biological or nuclear weapons and long-range missiles that flew more than 93 miles.
<font color="red">Despite that prohibition and Iraqi claims of compliance, years of concealment became evident when Iraq admitted in 1995 that it had weaponized biological agents such as anthrax, sarin, mustard gas and botulinum toxin and even managed to fill warheads with some of the agents.</font id="red">
In written reports obtained by The Associated Press, the Iraqis told inspectors they decided not to fire those weapons during the 1991 Gulf War because they believed it would bring on a nuclear attack by the United States.
<font color="red">Today, the Iraqis maintain they have destroyed all of their weapons of mass destruction. But inspectors have been unable to verify the claims, and the United States and Britain remain convinced that Iraq not only has chemical and biological weapons but is producing more.</font id="red">
On Kuwaiti television, military spokesman Col. Youssef al-Mullah said one of two incoming Scuds was shot down by three Patriot missiles.
British officials reported a slightly different version of events.
Lt. Col. Ronnie McCourt, a British spokesman at Camp As Sayliyah, identified just one of the missiles as a Scud.
Al-Mullah described the third missile as an Al Samoud.
<font color="red">Three and a half months ago, Iraq did declare its Al Samoud missile system, which inspectors later ordered destroyed after test flights indicated the missile had flown slightly farther than a 93 mile range limit.
The Iraqis complied with the order, and U.N. chief inspector Hans Blix reported that about 70 of the missiles had been destroyed, leaving approximately 30 in the Iraqi arsenal.</font id="red">
