#1 It was about time, everything told about Iraq was a joke, no smoking guns found, no WMD weaponry etc. etc. Let at least the "war against terror" phrase be a serious one of Bush and Co.

#2 Hey! Murat's back!

Speaking of lies, did you find the Kurds who set off those bombs in Istanbul yet?

#3 He's baaaaaaack.

BTW, even if we don't turn up any WMD's, what if they were produced on paper to stave off Saddam's wrath? What if Saddam tried a bluff that backfired?

#4 Hey, Murat, have you finally developed the spine to explain why you thought I was some Berwex-whatever guy? C'mon, you said you had proof I was that fellow -- cough it up or admit you're a lying sack.

#5 Korora brings up an interesting point alluded to in the Kay report. Hussein gave money to scientists to develop wmds (besides the ricin they sent to the UK) which the scientists & other top officials basically pocketed and fed Hussein false reports of progress. Hussein (the moron that he is) barked about his weapon's capabilities to neighboring countries and thus built on the myth. That's my theory as well. He may have been bluffing to keep his neighbors on edge and maintain his hitler-esque prestige in the region or he was just too stupid to know he was being hood-winked by his own r&d folks.

#6 RC are you certain you're not this BedWetian fellow? You don't sound Kurdish but I'm nearly deaf.

#7 Shipman -- that's the thing. I want to see Murat's evidence so I can be sure. I have these daily spells where I can't remember anything that happens -- they usually last eight to twelve hours (on weekends), and happen during the hours that that side of the planet would be active. I wanna make sure I'm not living a double life!

#8 That's odd. Has there been a helicopter crash in Iraq today? I could swear Murat only comes out when American soldiers die in large numbers.

#9 RC do you ever wake up and find unaccountable kabob in the refrig? Do you ever think.... "Jeez that guy looks Armenian"? If so you could be the dread BedWetian.

#10 Welcome back Murat. I was behginning to worry that you had been arrested after the last bombings in Turkey.

Well, there's a lot of unaccountable (and indescribable!) stuff in my fridge, but nothing that comes close to kabob.

Do you ever think.... "Jeez that guy looks Armenian"?

Only when watching a Belushi movie.
