Which of These Conspiracy Theories Do You Believe?

Aliens probably exist, but the US govt doesn't have any of them or their junk.  The rest are silly.

It strikes me that Bush lying about the presence of WMDs in Iraq to start a war to get to oil fields is in this list along with lizard people. I mean, ask anybody outside the US, they will tell you "of course he did lie". It's just not a conspiracy theory.

Well you've convinced me, with logic that solid how can I not be?

Of course, because if anybody would know secrets in the Bush the Lesser White House it would be everybody that lives outside the US.  You Euros are especially known for not being ones to fall for conspiracy theories, so it must be true.

So do you believe that Bush sincerely believed that there were WMDs in Iraq based on careful weighing of the evidence and strongly considering the possibility that there wasn't, and made an entirely well intentioned invasion without any deliberate misinformation of distortion of evidence? Because that's a lot more absurd than any "conspiracy" here.

My view (and probably that of most non-Americans) is basically "Bush didn't care if there was WMDs, he was invading either way", but since of course evidence against there being WMDs wouldn't help, this was never considered and not all options in the event of there being WMDs were carefully weighed. And as Morden noted this counts as "lying about WMDs".

I don't know.  My issue was with someone claiming to just know the entire story and that the story was so obvious that only stupid Americans would even consider it a conspiracy.  Which I found odd because Euros love conspiracy theories almost as much as Arabs.
