Dual Use
Take pencils. The schoolchildren in Iraq can't use pencils because some bloody genius in Bush Senior's administration figured that pencils contain lead, and lead can be used in a nuclear weapons programme. My ass.

...Okay, how about this? Chlorine, an essential ingredient of any half-assed water purification plant, is banned. It's banned because Hussein could use it in a chemical weapons programme. My ass.

...Next, we've got X-Ray machines. That's right, the same gizmos your friendly neighbourhood clinic uses to locate cervical cancer and ovarian cysts.The Security Council consistently blocks X-Ray machines, claiming their Cesium isotopes (as well as their on-board computers) could be used in a nuclear weapons programme. My ass.

...As weapons inspectors turn Iraq upside down and inside out, the Iraqis plead that plastic slippers should not be considered "dual use" items. Reacting to this grievance, CNN anchor Paula Zahn comes up with one of the most objective and incisive comments ever heard across mainstream media: "they are effectively lying."

I'm not making this up. Paula Lobotomized Zahn actually said that.
[FTW]

I am convinced that Bushies have a dual use for their arses, "thinking" is one of it. :P
