Wot, no WMD? Here's a new theory
Now this one really made me laugh out loud. A story appeared on the front page of the Guardian on Xmas Eve entitled: " New theory for Iraq's missing WMD: Saddam was fooled into thinking he had them ". The story went on, very straight-facedly considering the sheer surreality of the content:
British officials are circulating a story that Saddam Hussein may have been hoodwinked into believing that Iraq really did possess weapons of mass destruction.
The theory, which is doing the rounds in the upper reaches of Whitehall, is the result of an attempt to find what one official source called a "logical reason" why no chemical and biological weapons had been found in Iraq.
According to the theory, Saddam and his senior advisers and commanders were told by lower-ranking Iraqi officers that his forces were equipped with usable chemical and biological weapons.
This is absolutely priceless. Basically, the Axis of Armed Robbery, still embarrassed that their pretext for invasion and plunder is plainly and verifiably false (which anyone with half a critical brain knew all along), are now inventing a theory that no WMD ever existed but everyone - Saddam, his ruling clique, the combined political, military and 'intelligence' establishments of the Axis of Imperialism - were fooled into believing that they did. This is truly post-modernism all'estrema, a quite staggering realisation of the post-modern deceit that there's no such thing as reality but that which is projected at us by the mass media. Eat your heart out, Guy Dèbord.
