7. I thought it went
"Fool me... ... ...see, you can't get fooled again".

I have a feeling the new "evidence" will be documents. Easy to forge, open ended...

4. Insane, isn't it?
If I'm not mistaken, that's double what they've spent so far.

Here's an odd little news item, not widely disseminated, that makes you go hmmmm:
Kuwaiti security authorities have foiled an attempt to smuggle $60 million worth of chemical weapons and biological warheads from Iraq to an unnamed European country, a Kuwaiti newspaper said on Wednesday.

5. I think at this point he should pay for any addition WMD searches
with funds from his campaign war chest.

9. The Billion Dollar Snipe Hunt
That's what it is, when you add in the $300M that's already been spent.

11. If he doesn't get it
he will always blame the Dems for not finding said WMDs. A whine something like "I wanted to hunt 'em down but the dems said no".

12. I hope he doesn't get it! Does anyone remember the "Shock and Awe"
campaign? That should be painfully remembered. Knowing what we know know, why hasn't it come up that we spent all that money bombing the shit out of Iraq, killing thousands of civilians.....based on lies. They probably need that money to plant some wmd's to tell the world, "we told you so". I wouldn't put it past them.

14. Diminishing returns.
It'll be like paying them to create some transparent phony evidence and buy them more time.
