Bush Lied About WMD in Iraq.....Oh, Wait...

Many on the left who decry the ouster of Sadaam Hussein loved to taunt President Bush with chants like "Bush lied, people died!". They seemed to ignore that the consensus opinion of security agencies (apparently consensus is legitimate in "science" like global warming but not in intelligence gathering) worldwide never disputed the weapons of mass destruction claim by the Bush administration. They even more conveniently forgot that Hussein had slaughtered his own people using chemical weapons. When the administration began to backtrack from its claims that British intelligence indicated Hussein had been seeking yellowcake uranium for enrichment to weaponize, the left celebrated the apparent "lie". Enter Wikileaks and the sudden revelation that there was still quiet the stockpile of chemical weapons and there was apparently more yellowcake than there are urinal cakes in Iraq. Funny how this has been out there apparently since 2006 when American Thinker first reported the revelations when it was revealed from a declassified report (I highly recommend the full article). The left doesn't care about facts or logic, it subsists on lies and emotion.

Well, That Took About a Week

Democrats, who have been relentless in calling Republicans the party of no and obstructionists despite the fact that Democrats haven't needed a single Republican vote to pass legislation for two years now, were painfully unaware of the concept of irony today. Having reached a compromise with President Obama on allowing the Bush era tax rates to continue across the board, the blissfully unaware (and unimaginably moronic) House Democratic caucus was overheard chanting "just say no!" in a behind closed doors meeting to block the compromise. I'm not sure if I want the Democratic Party to implode or not. Sometimes they're just too funny. Of course that's also one of the main reasons they probably shouldn't be allowed to govern.

Turn off the AC, the warming scam is over. According to this Washington Times article, politicos are staying away in droves from this year's conference in Cancun.

Poker Strategy Tips From Cancun

When you have a weak hand, often the only recourse is not to fold, but to use your bets to push others out of the game. It appears climate "scientists" are accomplished bluffers. Despite growing dissent on the anthropogenic nature of global warming, the release of e-mails which bring into question the validity of the science used to justify that argument, and the constant revelation of poor science in the UN's IPCC climate change report, the opening day of the Cancun climate summit saw these scientists calling for WWII style rationing in developed nations to reduce carbon emissions. You know, carbon, the element that is the basis of all life on Earth.

If there has ever been more reason to believe that the political agenda behind climate science is the redistribution of resources (if everyone is poor, no one is) I can't think of the basis.

Sorry. The link didn't work before. It should now as the story is here. Basically, it looks like we bailed out the UAW without ever knowing.
