Just Plant The WMDs at This Point, George

Jesus! Can't this guy do anything right?



With at least 1,356 dead since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, and ten of thousands more wounded, you would think that the best thing to do at this point would be to lie about the existence of WMDs in Iraq. Just like he lied about them at the beginning. Now that it's essentially too late to undo the damage, Bush should at least convince the easily convinced (aka. the Red States) that their sons and daughters haven't died for nothing. Especially since, even with the new information having come to light, we still have no hopes for so much as an apology from this president or his administration. President Bush still clings to the notion the Iraq War was totally justified because the world is safe without Saddam Hussein in power. Though this is probably true, it is undeniable at this point that Saddam represented no immediate threat circa March 2003.



Sometimes it's appropriate to lie. Now that it's too late for the truth to do us any good, planting false evidence about the existence of WMDs seems like the less arrogant move at this point. It would at least show that he cares enough about us to lie to us.
