Paranoia will destroy ya

Trying to bootsrap revelations about Russians giving Saddam inteligence to the behatted fool’s deranged fantasy that Saddam-hid-the-nukes, Pajama Person #1 comes up with: Roooskies helped Saddam hide the WMDs (which we may still find anyway):

According to the documents upon which this article was based, the Saddamites had foreknowledge of much of what the US was up to, thanks to that collection of old KGB hacks. No surprise, really, and it also should be no surprise that there weren’t a lot of WMDs lying around when our tanks rolled in (although it may yet prove out that there were more than we have been told so far), not to mention a lot of Iraqi troops.

His premise is that Soviet warnings of US intentions gave Saddam a heads up and allowed him to hide all the WMDs which our own Iraq Survey Group, after two years of exhaustive study (as opposed to quivering behind a keyboard, wearing a hat and adult diapers) concluded never existed.

This is stupid, even for the supercilious fool we know as Roger Simon. In fact, it’s unconscionably stupid. Why, you ask?

Because we told the entire world we were going into Iraq. We publicly passed a Congressional resolution authorizing Bush to use force against Saddam. We publicly urged other countries to join us in the invasion. And then, finally, we gave the son of a bitch an ultimatum, broadcast live over the television, telling Saddam we were going to invade the country if he didn’t abdicate power and leave Iraq.

Yet somehow, some way, this revelation gives traction to Simon’s pathetic delusion that the Right was, after all, right about Saddam having WMDs.

In fact, if the WMDs were near Baghdad — which Rumsfeld and other administration prevaricators repeatedly told the American was were where we “knew” them to be — the Russians would have inadvertantly misled Saddam into thinking he had more time, since our army accellerated its drive into Baghdad, while the Russians intelligence indicated that we would not move on Baghdad until later, after the 4th Infantry Division arrived in theater.

Simon’s attempt to articulate this asinine theory that the Russians somehow warned Saddam about a publicly authorized, publicly declared US invasion, is just a further demonstration of what an irrelevent, dullwitted hack Simon has become. Beyond pathetic.
