Yes, we are in the Fifth month of the war. Lets count them.

March-21 to April-21st
April-21st to May-21st
May-21st to June-21st
June-21st to July-21st
July-21st to August 21st.

We are in the fifth month of the war by my reconing. And if you don't think we had teams looking for WMD on day one of the operation, I have a bridge to sell you.

Everything else- we have been through before. Like I said, its just linguistic masturbation until significant amount of WMD, and even just a few Saddam-linked terrorists show up.

Put up, or shut up. ;-)

God, I am going to love watching you insist the sky is purple with green stripes in month 12. I mean, I'm going to just love it.
