"I am absolutely convinced with time we'll find out that they did have a weapons program." — Emperor George Bush II, June 9.

"Since I was [last] here [in Chicago], thanks to the bravery of our military, and to friends and allies, the regime of Saddam Hussein is no more. The world is peaceful and free." — Emperor George Bush II, June 11.

Mushrooms

"A recent poll by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland showed that 34 percent of the Americans questioned said they believed the US 'has found such weapons [of mass destruction in Iraq]'. PIPA director Steve Kull blamed this 'level of misinformation' partially on 'repeated headlines that there has been a promising lead in the effort to find evidence of such weapons'." — Carlisle, Pennsylvannia Sentinel, June 13.
