wmdiraq

have you noticed that every time the subject of wmd in pre-war iraq comes up in radio or tv discussions, somebody inevitably says "EVERYBODY believed saddam had wmd" (and sometimes they add "including france and germany") and nobody contradicts it?

well, a single negative example is all you need to disprove that generalization.

i can assure you i know at least one person who didn't believe it, plus france and germany both said the evidence was inconclusive.

that's enough to make it a lie, and because it gets repeated so often, it qualifies as a BIG lie.

but it still goes on.
