I heard GW Bush claim Saddam had WMDs too, and that didn't happen did it?
Actually, that one did. It resulted in both "Gulf War Syndrome", and a pretty big scandal where Monsanto brokered the deal to sell the machines to manufacture chemical weapons to them from a German company, said deal routed through France. But nice try.

We're well on our way to getting one built in Carlsbad, near San Diego. I hope there are more to follow.
"It will produce 50 million gallons of water per day and will provide 7% of the potable water needs for the San Diego region."
Cool. Now you only need to build another 14 of them to satisfy the water needs of the area...
