The start of the new year means all the cabinet papers from twenty years ago get declassified, in this case the Howard year of 2004. Amongst them is the knowledge that the Howard government absolutely knew that Iraq had no WMD.
AND OUR MSM PROMOTED 24/7 HOW DANGEROUS WMD WERE TO THE ENTIRE WORLD




























The person at the desk is thinking "I just know they don't have a receipt for these".

I will be glad when the cartoonists get tired of drawing Eloon's exposed belly, though. I can't complain too much about them making fun of him, but I do wish they'd find a different way to do it.

Looks like they're good. The rabbit was just scared and made it to the shore, BTW. People didn't believe Jimmy at first but honest people are used to that.

10. Some may not remember that incident

On April 20, 1979, during a few days of vacation in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, Carter was fishing
in a johnboat (sometimes erroneously described as a canoe)[1] in a pond on his farm, when he saw a
swamp rabbit, which Carter later speculated was fleeing from a predator, swimming in the water and
making its way towards him, "hissing menacingly, its teeth flashing and nostrils flared",[2][3][4][5] so he
reacted by either hitting or splashing water at it with his paddle to scare it away, and it subsequently
swam away from him and climbed out of the pond. A White House photographer captured the
subsequent scene. Carter was uninjured; the fate of the rabbit is unknown.

According to Powell, in the subsequent August, Powell was chatting with Associated Press White House
correspondent Brooks Jackson – according to Powell's memory, over a cup of tea, but according to
Carter, "in a bar after a lot of drinking had gone on"[6] – and mentioned the story.[8] The next day,
Jackson reported it to the news.

The story had an embargo of a couple of days, but radio stations, such as those that carried Paul
Harvey's programs, started talking about it shortly after it was submitted, so newspapers successfully
requested that the embargo be lifted.[1][11]: 259  (Their eagerness to publish the story may have been a
result of a dearth of other news.[11]: 79  As a result, on August 30 the story got a front-page article in
The Washington Post under the title "Bunny Goes Bugs: Rabbit Attacks President",[10] illustrated with a
parody of the Jaws movie poster, entitled "PAWS",[2][4][8] and a New York Times article entitled "A Tale
of Carter and the 'Killer Rabbit'".[5] Coverage in various news continued for more than a week.[7]

You're the first to even mention them since I got them sorted by date and started posting them a week
ago.
