Talk:Weapons of Mass Deception
This page was proposed for deletion by Robofish (talk · contribs) on 18 February 2010 with the comment: Disambiguation page consisting entirely of redlinks. This is not useful; if these topics are worthy of articles, then the articles should be created, but if they are not the disambiguation page serves no purpose. It was seconded by Cnilep (talk · contribs) on 2010-02-19 with the comment: Per MOS:DAB red links should only be included if another article features that red link. It was contested by Maurreen (talk · contribs) on 2010-02-23 with the comment: Restoring to earlier version, no longer dab, add a little. |

NPOV?
[edit]This reads as a somewhat biased article. Also, why is it listed under "Political Forgery"?
Isn't this a hoax, or an example of inaccurate statements or controversial issues? I thought this category was for faked documents.
Erm, shouldn't this page at the very least mention that indeed no weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq up to this day? --148.197.135.65 10:06, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Misleading Statement
[edit]The "500 hundred" claim was irrelevant and misleading. The article is about a satarical commentary, not about the relevance of the Bush Administration's claims. Furthermore, the status of the weapons is highly suspect, and sources within the government are indicating they were abandoned and useless, no part of any stockpile.
I have removed the claim and provided a link to a page dedicated to the subject. --208.41.98.142 19:18, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Can we get cites to the specific usage of this phrase? The first half of the article as it stands is definitely not NPOV. Lemorgoth 23:41, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Lemorgoth
Made this a disambiguation page instead. --GunnarRene 17:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Article
[edit]This page used to be an article:
Weapons of mass deception is the term used to describe George W. Bush's claim that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction as justification for the war on Iraq.
The variation weapons of mass distraction has also been used by pundits and satirists. This punning alteration accuses the Bush administration of using the war in Iraq to draw the nation's attention away from other issues, such as the economic recession of 2002. The term's meaning was later inverted to describe Bush's alleged attempts to divert attention away from the war following a drop in public support for the war.

- Instead of being prodded, perhaps it should just be reverted to article form. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 09:18, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
