WTF Is It Now?!?

What the definition of "WMD" is
The White House helpfully explains what the 'president' meant when he claimed weapons of mass destruction had already been found.

According to WH spokes-tool Ari 'the Liar' Fleischer, when serial liar Smirky the AWOL Liar declared two weeks ago Friday that "weapons of mass destruction" had indeed been found in Iraq, he was merely using a term as a synonym for weapons of mass destruction programs as well.

Fleischer's explanation comes at a time of mounting criticism at home and abroad for the president, who urgently and credibly sold the war in Iraq as a necessary task in the face of an imminent threat from Saddam Hussein's biological, chemical and possibly even nuclear weapons - ones it was imperative the U.S. not allow to be used or given to terrorists. "Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised," Bush said on March 17.

In the weeks since, administration officials have grown increasingly nonplused at the lack of credible evidence so far that Iraq had WMD at the ready. In this context, Fleischer's remarks appear to be not only an attempt to explain away a presidential misstatement, but perhaps more than that: a way to argue that the president never meant that there were WMD pointed at the U.S., just WMD programs.

This is such bushit. If we let them get away with this, we may as well save time and just stick our heads up our asses now.
