I'm getting a bit tired of standard DC rhetoric.  From now on, just because you don't know what weapons a state has, if any, you can't just say "weapons of mass destruction."  I thought we were done with this shit after Iraq, but it seems to be coming back.  And not a moment too soon if you ask me.  I'm curious to see just how long the attention spans of Americans are.

Along the same lines, just because you don't know who you're trying to fight doesn't mean you can just call them terrorists.  Really?  Terrorists?  You have no idea who you're talking about do you?  Can we be any more vague?  We won't even worry about it being a somewhat loaded term to begin with.  

So from now on, when you're flipping through channels on Sunday morning and you see some senator say something about keeping the "terrorists" from getting their hands (if terrorists even have such things) on "weapons of mass destruction" you smile and realize that that guy (or Hillary) has no fucking clue what they're talking about.  But don't be too harsh, they've likely just stumbled into ambiguous rhetoric spewing mode.  It happens to the best of us.
