Bush Wants to Empower WMD Fight

Mr. Bush, learning nothing from the Iraq situation, now wants new money and powers to wipe out WMD (real or imagined?) throughout the world.

What's that quote by Santayana? Oh yes:

    Those who do not understand history are condemned to repeat it.

One huge issue with this - aside from the rather tattered credibility of this WH on the issue of WMD - is that probably the biggest owner and proliferator of WMD is right here in the US: our government. The concept that our WMDs are meant for good and everyone else's are evil and must be destroyed probably isn't going to fly.
