Stupid is as stupid does

Sean Hannity is one of the dumbest people on radio/TV and Rick Santorum is without doubt the stupidest sitting senator (he MAY be the dumbest of all time, but Al D'Amato is in the team photo there). So how rich was it that these two geniuses "found" the "missing" and ever so dreaded "weapons of mass destruction?" (Here is Newshounds' take on it) It was simply train-wreck funny stuff, dim-witted Hannity and the desparate Santorum (18+ points behind at last glance) making total fools of themselves trumpeting the "find" and demanding apologies from presidential critics.

Now of course, the story had previously been debunked by FOX NEWS! As we all know now, "these were pre-1991 weapons that could not have been fired as designed because they’d already been degraded." The "find" involved some shells buried during the Iraq-Iran war that had long been forgotten, not any indication of current capacity. Priceless.

We need to make a couple of basic points here. First of all, should ANYONE be surprised about finding this stuff? We knew Hussein had chemical weapons BECAUSE WE GAVE THEM TO HIM! And also, please remember that the dreaded "WMD" is not a magic incantation that summons demons and brings the mummy back to life. The U.N. RESOLUTION barred Hussein from having such weapons and its enfircement WAS A U.N. MATTER. War would ONLY have been justified if Iraq was an IMMEDIATE and IMMINENT threat to the United States.

Rotsa ruck on that one.
