quote:And doesn't know that Errol Fylnn was an Australian.
Christ, what a idiot this guy is. Surely no-one can really be this stupid? Are we now expected to state every fact we know about anything when the subject comes up? We might have to, since in Mountain Troll's weird little world not saying Errol Flynn is Australian = not knowing Errol Flynn is Australian! Despite the fact his nationality had almost no bearing on anything whatsoever! In fact, yes, Errol was Australian - Tasmanian, actually. He played an American in a film which downplayed the role of British/Commonwealth troops, many of whom resented it. Partly because he WAS one of them!

quote:Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, said he thinks "there's a very good chance" that weapons of mass destruction will eventually be found.
On Wednesday, Rockefeller chided White House officials for what he saw as a retreat from their original assessment of the Iraqi threat by pointing to evidence of weapons programs, rather than to actual weapons.
Asked Thursday after his committee's briefing whether he had confidence actual weapons would be found, Rockefeller said, "I don't know whether I'm confident or not, but I certainly am hopeful that we're going to find weapons of mass destruction, and I think there's a very good chance of that."
He also said he doesn't believe that if the weapons exist they would have been found by now.
"I've always had the feeling that somewhere out in the deserts in a country the size of California, these things could be buried. There could be surprises," Rockefeller said.
Incidentally, this is a change in direction of Senator Rockefeller's position from as late as June 2003.
quote:Sen. John "Jay" Rockefeller, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he welcomed the upcoming hearings, but described them as "not sufficient" and called for a "full fact-finding investigation."
"We need to be able to request additional intelligence documents; interview intelligence community and administration officials, past and present; hold closed and open hearings, and prepare a final public report on lessons learned," the West Virginia Democrat said in a statement.
I'm just sayin' perhaps the top folks on the Intelligence Committees know stuff that certain other folks don't, is all.

Another startling case for pre-emptive war.

Lucky we Nuked the Japanese before they developed a delivery system for the Black plague they were developing in China. Saved a lot of lives then. Out of the question now of course. Too bad would have made for some nice sunsets.

Yes I do. Isn't it just so boring when everyone is politicaly correct.

Are you of the mistaken impression that the Japanese DIDN'T conduct biological warfare experiments with the plague in China during WWII? Unit 731
It also says that the US helped them cover it up. That, at least, you should have no problem believing.
