Is Bush Preparing an Iraq WMD Election Breakthough?

It may not be the most reliable source in these troubled times, but the Tehran Times carries a VERY interesting story:

" Over the past few days, in the wake of the bombings in Karbala and the ideological disputes that delayed the signing of Iraq’s interim constitution, there have been reports that U.S. forces have unloaded a large cargo of parts for constructing long-range missiles and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in the southern ports of Iraq.

A reliable source from the Iraqi Governing Council, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Mehr News Agency that U.S. forces, with the help of British forces stationed in southern Iraq, had made extensive efforts to conceal their actions.

He added that the cargo was unloaded during the night as attention was still focused on the aftermath of the deadly bombings in Karbala and the signing of Iraq’s interim constitution.

The source said that in order to avoid suspicion, ordinary cargo ships were used to download the cargo, which consisted of weapons produced in the 1980s and 1990s."

Can it be that Bush is preparing the ultimate "in your face" response to the peaceniks? Are the neo-cons stupid enough to even try it? If the WMDs are "discovered" just a few weeks before the US elections, it is unlikely that their non-Iraq origin could be proved until after Bush & Co had stolen another election. If you don't think that could happen, just have a look at how Australia's John Howard won the last election.

How bad are these Bush dudes anyway? Readers may think I am becoming a lunatic conspiracy theorist, but the problem is that when people lie to you repeatedly, you lose trust in them absolutely. In days gone by I would have given most Western governments the benefit of the doubt. Now I cannot.

Instead, I tend to look at what these people DO rather than listen to what they say. And when you look at what Bush, his father and his friends have done over the years, it is not very pretty.

Indeed, I find myself wondering how Bush & Co managed to drag Blair, Howard and even Spain's Jose Maria Aznar on board the pro-war wagon when all these leaders had huge majorities of their populations opposed to militant unilateral action? Is it possible that the CIA has "got something" on all these leaders? Sounds crazy, I know, but one look at Google News these days confirms we are living in a crazy world.
