Officials Say Bush Seeks $600 Million to Hunt Iraq Arms

[Theophylact]

Throwing good money after bad. (The New York Times, FRYYY)

BASSANIO:

In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft,
I shot his fellow of the self-same flight
The self-same way with more advised watch,
To find the other forth, and by adventuring both
I oft found both: I urge this childhood proof,
Because what follows is pure innocence.
I owe you much, and, like a wilful youth,
That which I owe is lost; but if you please
To shoot another arrow that self way
Which you did shoot the first, I do not doubt,
As I will watch the aim, or to find both
Or bring your latter hazard back again
And thankfully rest debtor for the first.

Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act I, Scene I

Good thing Antonio had a sharp lawyer to save him from the consequences.

I'm just so surprised that they haven't yet planted any.

[crouse]

ah yes....... better we should stop searching altogether....... then in a few years..... the terrorists can dig up those wmd's and use them........... THEN you will complain GWB didn't do enough..........

can't have it both ways...... and since we ARE there...... lets do it right this time eh?????

[Mike]

Right. Why aren't the rebels trying to dig them up already? Don't you think they would have tried to use them by now?

[super gerbil]

naw I don't think so. Maybe some don't know where they are. Well couple months ago we found couple buildings full of weapons

[Mike]

Weapons of? Nothing has been found that proves Iraq has any of these weapons. Nothing that has officially proven at least.
