Whats the difference between "weapons of mass destruction" and "weapons of mass distraction"?

Answer 1

The first are intended to kill large groups of people. The second is a byproduct of Karl Rove.

Answer 2

One of these are weapons which could kill millions.
The other is using fraudulent threats of mass harm to
squash dissent and make the public so fearful they will not disagree or dissent as their freedoms disappear and they are lied to on a daily basis, as in the novel "1984." The parallels are very disturbing, indeed.
Fear disengages rational thought.
In room 13, where the most frightening thing in the world, to you, waited for you, grown people wet their pants and agreed to anything the State wanted.
Anything.

Answer 3

Weapons of mass destruction are weapons that kill many folks with one shot, ie atomic bomb or mustard gas. Weapons of mass distraction work in WAshington, D.C., ie congress and the senate or politicians.

Answer 4

The Sarin Gas found in Iraq would be considered a weapon of mass destruction. Iraq invaded an allied country Kuwait, and lost to the USA. The terms of condition: UN Inspections. The Iraqi's (Sadam Hussein) threw out the inspectors. France and Russia were making tremendous profits in the Food For Oil program so they blocked any thing the US tried because they were greedy. The US gathered some "friendlier" nations and went in. We found weapons of mass destruction as defined in the terms of surrender (linked below). Although the majority of Democrats voted to go to war they now choose to play politics while our troops are in harms way. See quotes below and look up the voting record to go to war.

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force-if
necessary-to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons
of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." - Sen. John F.
Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9,2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous
dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat
because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating
America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass
destruction... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real"
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

"We urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution
and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on
suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its
weapons of mass destruction programs." - Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens.
Carl Levin (D-MI), Tom Daschle (D-SD), John Kerry ( D - MA), and others Oct. 9,1998

After overwhelmingly voting to go to war the Dems now wanna play politics. Go figure, which party has become distracted? We were both on the same page now one party has CHANGED it's mind. Remember, Vietnam was started by the Democrats.

Answer 5

You use weapons of mass distraction when you can't find weapons of mass destruction.

That reminds me, I wonder how Dubya's plans for a manned flight to Mars are coming along.

Answer 6

If you look up the definition of the destruction and distraction you will know

Answer 7

The latter is a nice set of T i T i e s!

Put two war-ing men in the same room, fighting..... now introduce a topless woman. Now that's mass distraction!

Answer 8

The spelling of the words "destruction" and "distraction."

Answer 9

Bush is using the second one to hide the fact that he didn't find the first one.

Answer 10

One spreads radioactive waves and the other spreads by radio waves.
