Limbaugh Logic: Looting Proves Righteousness
translation: Looting at Iraqi weapons sites justifies Bush's invasion

In concert with our season of the bizarro, Rush Limbaugh makes an appearance. It seems that the New York Times reported that Iraqi weapon sites were looted just after the American invasion. Now, looting in Iraq is nothing new- if fact, it's hard to find a significant Iraqi location that wasn't looted. Stores, schools and universities, research labs, government offices, national museums, hospitals, and even weapons sites were all looted. There's very little mention of deterrence provided by coalition forces to stop any sort of looting in Iraq. It stood, and still stands, as one of the first great embarrassments from the war; that our invasion allowed looting to wipe out great chunks of Iraq's economy and culture. Seriously- how could anyone be pleased that Iraqi weapons sites were not secured, but were instead, looted? Wouldn't that just strengthen the terrorist forces that are killing our soldiers in Iraq right now?

Well, Rush is pleased. He's happy and feeling righteous. He's spun this bit of tragic news to an absurd conclusion; that the looters must have been collecting "Weapons of Mass Destruction", so their looting justifies the invasion!

First- let's all understand that the article in no way locates or identifies any WMD's. It simply points out that major pieces of dual-use industrial equipment and explosives were looted after the invasion, and some of the equipment that is now missing could be used to develop WMD's, or jet engines, or as the report stated, "...highly specialized parts." Certainly 9/11 has taught us how dangerous jet engines can be, but let's remember- those jets were American, not Iraqi.

But this is all music to Rush's ears (selective and tinny as they may be). To him, this trips up the liberals in their anti-war protests. All along, they've been pushing an anti-war agenda, but, Rush states, "...in the process, they end up admitting that the weapons were there all along". In addition, mentioned simply because it is so bizarre, Rush contends that the missing WMD's will be found in Syria, and have been "miniaturized." (read his rant- I'm not making this up!)

Good God, the warmongering sadists such as Rush will stop at nothing to justify their idiotic agenda. I'm sure that they literally drool with anticipation, fingers clenched like worshipping fanatics, hoping beyond all hope, praying, dreaming for the day that a dirty radiation bomb, a cloud of anthrax, maybe just a dispersal of small pox- something, anything kills some of our service men, so they can finally shout, "Hurray! We finally found those missing weapons of mass destruction!"

Talk about an anti-patriotic war chant:

"Once our boys get gassed and bombed -
- we'll show them Lib'ruls they were wrong"
