These are two actual quotes from Ari Fleischer, the smirking Harlequin who acts as the official voice of the White House.

On whether or not the Bush administration thinks Saddam has Weapons of Mass Destruction (or, what's commonly known as WMD):

"The president of the United States and the secretary of defense would not assert as plainly and bluntly as they have that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction if it was not true, and if they did not have a solid basis for saying it."

Got that?

And on whether or not the White House has a "smoking gun" pointing to hard-evidence that Saddam has WMD:

"The problem with guns that are hidden is you can't see their smoke."

Ahhh, brilliant....answering major foriegn policy questions with a zen koan. How deep. Let's see critics try to respond to that one.

Oy.
