Ken, will you get off your political soapbox for one goddamned post?
This has nothing to do with Bush or his administrations evilness.
My point is that it would have been simple for us to plant WMD in Iraq, and there would be no reprocussions.
To Danked's point, sure, there are cameras and what not. but just look at the other thread about conspiracies. There is a movement that truly believes that it was even commercial airlines who flew into the Towers, but cargo jets; and not even cargo jets but cargo jets that shot missles into the Trade centers, all the while millions of people were watching live on TV.
If you are saying that the existence of TV and media will make it much less likely for the government to try and fool the populace compared to the 1920s, OK I buy that.
But my initial point is that of all the zany consipiracy theories out there, planting WMD in Iraq would be the single best risk/reward in the history of conspiracy theories. That the most simple one ever hasn't been done, just makes it that more difficult to believe all the other BS theories.
