    Sure, why not call a grenade a WMD? I mean, if you are going to claim non-functional artillery shells as them, why not call anything that can kill more than 1 person a WMD?

    It's not my assertion that they not find WMD's, it's everyone but you looney right-wing nuts.

    You misread. I don't give any ****s about what your thought 13 years ago. I'm calling you out on being antagonistically pedantic which has no bearing on your thoughts 13 years ago.

    Remember when GWB gave the joke slideshow of him looking for WMD's all around the White House but, "nope, not there"? That must have been because they found all those WMD's in Iraq, eh?

    Comparing chemical weapons to a grenade simply because they are disastrous to your world perspective is pretty bad, even here where crazy things like that seem to happen so often.

    Comparing a 1987 degenerating abandoned leaking artillery shell to a WMD goes to show how desperate of a partisan hack you are. This was so much not WMD's that Bush and Co were looking for that instead of announcing it to the world as vindication, THEY KEPT IT SECRET!

    Do you understand that? Or are you just that dense?

    Are people still pretending the weapons found with the warn out chemicals on them that were basically capable of causing some skin irritations only equivalent of finding WMD's?

    Those were Weapons of Minimal Destruction. Let's stop having to have this discussion every time someone can't handle to results of the WMD search.

    I'm sure the clown show will continue.

    Clinton Email Scandal Falls Apart As State Dept. Says There Was No Policy Against Private Email

    The Republican Hillary Clinton email scandal is falling apart as the State Department confirmed that there was no policy against Clinton using private email.

    The great email scandal that Republicans hoped would destroy Hillary Clinton’s candidacy is heading down the same path as “IRS scandal,” the “Benghazi scandal,” and President Obama’s birth certificate.

    The email scandal is being revealed as another in a long series of election-year stunts. Republicans are set to waste millions of taxpayer dollars on politically driven investigations into Clinton’s use of email, and their efforts are likely to result in nothing.

    A CNN poll released last week revealed that voters don’t care about Hillary Clinton’s emails. Clinton still leads every Republican presidential candidate, and Republicans are now confronted with the reality that if Hillary Clinton did not violate any policies regarding the use of email, there is no scandal to investigate.

    If a Clinton does it, then it's not wrong. We've known this for decades.

    There is no policy against having and using a private E-mail.....but you still can't send classified information that way. If she sent classified information through unsecured servers, there's still a problem.

    I only see FAUX when I'm at the gym, it's on on the line of TV's, but it is telling to me that this is a non-story on most all the channels but when I look over at the FAUX they are running a ten minute segment with the bold title band under neath saying "Hillary's Email Scandal" with that guy with the slumpy condescending posture and that one brunette with the constant b**** face.

    There are staff people at the State Department that are in charge of communications security, if they let Ms. Clinto have her particular set-up then they must have thought it was OK. If it wasn't then let's change the system and move on. This certainly is not an issue of political philosophy, which is what elections should be about. It's just a faux scandal promoted to get a rage reaction from their typical viewer.

    There are 100 issues where the philosophical bent of a candidate matter and should be judged, but this ain't one.

    I'd guess that one of the purposes of having a private server is that if there were anything incriminating, it could be deleted.

    The only venue left is sifting through deleted harddrives through forensics tools and see if they did a complete enough job.

    A pretty ****ty start for declaring candidacy, but that's the calculating type of person she is. It's like a 20 year old shakespearean tragedy in the works.

    Meanwhile and elsewhere, the outrage over using private email and intentionally hiding information is deafening.
