[lbo-talk] Little boy who cried "WMD" test

[Bill Bartlett]

It doesn't pay to overestimate toe intelligence of  dictatorships. But of course the accuser in the instance (the US government) does have a history of making this kind of thing up out of thin air.

So its hard to justify even subjecting this allegation to a "smell test". First it needs to pass the laugh out loud test. 

Everybody is in stitches over this claim. Don't take it seriously, please.
