I cite this again because everyone in the Cellar should have learned from this history. Saddam did not have WMDs because supporting facts and numbers did not exist. Any claim made without supporting hard facts and numbers is best called bogus. And that is being deplorably polite.

Anything from the Heritage Foundation is immediately taken with plenty of salt. Because the Heritage Foundation is created to promote a political agenda while masquerading as a think tank. Halloween does not justify it.

Let's view this Heritage report. Where are reams of facts and numbers to support their conclusions? Extremists neither need nor want supporting facts. Extremists want to be told what to believe. The Heritage Foundation’s purpose. Its report provides speculated conclusions. Declares them as truth. And orders us to "trust them". Exact same logic also proved Saddam's WMDs. Or did we again forget history?

Remember the 1400 Bible? Something that only the elite were permitted to read. We were too inferior. Were not permitted to read it let alone learn what the Bible was really saying. The elite told us in 1400 what we should believe. An 'evil' Guttenberg had the audacity to publish a Bible in a language we might understand. We are supposed to believe only what we are told to believe.

We have no right to demand facts that created the Heritage's conclusions? We should only believe what we were told to believe and therefore sent almost 5000 American soldiers to a useless death? Same wacko extremist leaders now tell us that teachers are overpaid. We must believe it because the Heritage Foundation says it is true.

I said the president was a liar because numbers for Saddam's WMDs did not exist. All here know how contentious a minority's opinion was because facts with numbers were missing. Moderates and other patriots learn nothing when supporting facts are withheld. Withholding facts means that report is only to tell wacko extremists what to think.

The report provides zero useful facts for any moderate. Another damning reason why that report is politely called wasted bandwidth.
