Ha-ha-ha oh man did we ever get smacked on that one. Conned big time. Punk'd like dogs. Just gotta shake your head, laugh it off. They reamed us but good, baby! Damn.

Turns out it really was all a big joke after all. The war, that is. All a big fat nasty murderous oil-licking lie, a sneaky little power-mad game with you as the sucker and the world as the pawn and BushCo as the slithery war thug, the dungeon master, the prison daddy. You really have to laugh. Because it's just so wonderfully ridiculous. In a rather disgusting, soul-draining sort of way.

See, there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. No WMDs at all. Isn't that great? What's more: There never were. Ha-ha-ha. Gotcha!

No warehouses teeming with nuclear warheads, no underground bunkers packed with vats of boiling biotoxins, no drums of crazy-ass chemical agents that will melt your skin and turn us all into drooling flesh-eating zombies -- unless, of course, you count the sneering vat of conservative biotoxin that is, say, Fox News, in which case, hell yeah baby, we gotcher WMDs right here beeyatch.

that's some quality journalism right there.

The whole article is written in the same manner, and I thought it was funny, that it was actually published that way. It does, however, bring up some points that are bothering people who were against the war, and probably (since i don't want to put words in anyones mouths' {© Canta }) some pro-war people too.

Funny, I almost posted the same article

Mark Morford has a twice-a-week on sfgate (Wed. + Fri.) That's pretty much his style of writing. Frantic, stream of thought, ultra-liberal. and frankly, a bit shallow and light. But it does make a good balance to some of the stuff I read on National Review.

This guy sounds like an idiot. He needs to stop doing crack, b/c his writing *might* improve.

Idiots don't get nationally syndicated columns published. Abd his writing is much more readble than most stale commentary these days. Just cause you don't agree with his point of view is hardly a good reason to start with the ad hominems.

I wonder... I wonder when he'll give it up and say we were right to go to war?

When WMD are found, will he write an article retracting this one and letting everyone know that supported him that he screwed up and was wrong?

Bush used WMD as his big selling point for the war. However many of those who protested didn't not believe that there was WMD, but rather if the risks were worth the benefits despite the possible WMD. If they find WMD, it doesn't mean that the war was automatically justified.
