    FWIW this isn’t any more absurd than the original weapons of mass destruction.

    For the young ones: Bush wanted us to believe that Saddam was trying to get nuclear weapons. The only problem is: he wasn’t. But Saddam had used chemical weapons during the Iran/Iraq war. So Bush decided to equate chemical and nuclear weapons. And thus the “weapons of mass destruction” were born. What is a weapon of mass destruction? Anything Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld wants it to be!

      The US was also pretty sure Sadam had chemical weapons because the US sold them the precursors and empty warheads. We actually did find some of those weapons in Iraq, but not in any great quantities.

    For the first time in history, many individual Americans are armed to the teeth with WMDs.

    What’s that mean for it medicinally? Are hospitals permitted to have WMDs?

      remember pain, sorrow, suffering are but the kiss of Jesus – a sign that you have come so close to Him that He can kiss you.

          that was Mother Teresa, she was a sick weirdo that ran medical facilities in poor countries so she could deny them care and let them suffer to death like Jesus did.

          If these kinds of people actually followed Jesus the world would probably be a swell place
