All of this blather coming from Bush trying to justify the invasion of Iraq with the (two? three?) trailers that have been found is driving me up the wall. I keep seeing various news reports trumpeting that we found these two trailers that “could be used to produce chemical weapons.”
Oh, really?
Look — give me a few gallons of bleach and a few gallons of ammonia, and my bathtub could be used to produce chemical weapons (depending on the mix, Chlorine Gas, Nitrogen Trichloride, or Hydrazine can be produced, none of which are particularly friendly). You’re faltering, Bush, and the world knows it.
