Chicken Georgie...WMds are falling!
Narrator: Chicken Georgie was in the woods one day when a WMD fell on his head. It scared him so much he trembled all over. He shook so hard, half his feathers fell out.
Chicken Georgie: "Help! Help! The WMDs is falling! I have to go tell the Congress!"
Narrator: So he ran in great fright to tell the Congress. Along the way he met Henny Cheney.
Henny Cheney: "Where are you going, Chicken Georgie?"
Chicken Georgie: "Oh, help! The WMDs is falling!"
Henny Cheney: "How do you know?"
Chicken Georgie: "I saw it with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears, and part of it fell on my head!"
Henny Cheney: "This is terrible, just terrible! We'd better hurry up."
Narrator: So they both ran away as fast as they could. Soon they met Ducky Rumsfeld.
Ducky Rumsfeld: "Where are you going, Chicken Georgie and Henny Chenny?"
Chicken Georgie & Henny Cheney: "The WMDs is falling! The WMDs is falling! We're going to tell the Congress!"
Ducky Rumsfeld: "How do you know?"
Chicken Georgie: "I saw it with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears, and part of it fell on my head."
Ducky Rumsfeld: "Oh dear, oh dear! We'd better run!"
Narrator: So they all ran down the road as fast as they could. Soon they met Goosey Powell walking down the roadside.
Goosey Powell "Hello there. Where are you all going in such a hurry?"
Chicken Georgie: "We're running for our lives!"
Henny Cheney: "The WMDs is falling!"
Ducky Rumsfeld: "And we're running to tell the Congress!"
Goosey Powell: "How do you know the WMDs is falling?"
Chicken Georgie: "I saw it with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears, and part of it fell on my head!"
Goosey Powell: "Goodness! Then I'd better run with you."
Narrator: And they all ran in great fright across a field. Before long they met Turkey Rice strutting back and forth..
Turkey Rice: "Hello there, Chicken Georgie, Henny Cheney, Ducky Rumsfeld, and Goosey Powell. Where are you all going in such a hurry?"
Chicken Georgie: "Help! Help!"
Henny Cheney: "We're running for our lives!"
Ducky Rumsfeld: "The WMDs is falling!"
Goosey Powell: "And we're running to tell the Congress!"
On & on & on……………
----------------- "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."-- Nazi Reichmarshal Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials |

Quotes From Democrats on the Threat of Iraq's WMDs
From Amy Hess,
Your Guide to Conservative Politics: U.S..

Bill Clinton: "If Saddam rejects peace, and we have to use force, our purpose is clear: We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
Madeleine Albright, (Clinton Secretary of State): "We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and the security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction."
Sandy Berger, (Clinton National Security Advisor): "[Saddam will] use those weapons of mass destruction again as he has ten times since 1983."
Harry Reid: "The problem is not nuclear testing; it is nuclear weapons. … The number of Third World countries with nuclear capabilities seems to grow daily. Saddam Hussein's near success with developing a nuclear weapon should be an eye-opener for us all."
Dick Durbin: "One of the most compelling threats we in this country face today is the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Threat assessments regularly warn us of the possibility that…Iraq…may acquire or develop nuclear weapons."
John Kerry: "If you don't believe…Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldn't vote for me."
John Edwards: "Serving on the Intelligence Committee and seeing day after day, week after week, briefings on Saddam's weapons of mass destruction and his plans on using those weapons, he cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons, it's just that simple. The whole world changes if Saddam ever has nuclear weapons."
Nancy Pelosi: "Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology, which is a threat to countries in the region, and he has made a mockery of the weapons-inspection process."
A Letter From The Senators: "We urge you, after consulting with Congress and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions, including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." - Sens. Levin, Lieberman, Lautenberg, Dodd, Kerrey, Feinstein, Mikulski, Daschle, Breaux, Johnson, Inouye, Landrieu, Ford and Kerry in a letter to Bill Clinton.

Level up: 45%, 99 Points needed | | Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep.
Yeah, I know, it's a song lyric, but it seems so fitting and the paranioa running through this country is so contagious.
America is the people, not the big economic machine that we are all slaves to, and we will not fall to any enemy, foreign or domestic, real or imagined.
Free yourself, free your mind and be truly free as Americans are supposed to be. This is what no one can ever take away from America with any weapon or threat, unless we willingly hand it over, in fear.
Fear is the biggest weapon being aimed at us right now. Whether or not you choose to look down it's sights, is up to you.
