This time, most of us are not fooled. We know it's a lie. But they are going to make the "WMD" claim anyway, even if no one believes it.

There's an aphorism by Kozma Prutkov (you can read Wikipedia article about that "author") based on russian proverbs: "Единожды солгавши, кто тебе поверит?" ("Thou who lied once, who will believe thou after?")
