Well, if this is the case, wouldn't it be prudent to keep the inspectors still in the country, have a UN Security Council Ministers meeting tomorrow, hear the Hans Blix report and then have the inspectors go get those chemical weapons.
Of course, this could only happen if the report is a true story and not a propaganda tool on the part of the Administration to keep the American public in a mindset different from where Tony Blair's public rests.
I also understand, from reading and watching the American media, that the 101st and 82 Airborne units are gonna go to the sites where Iraq's weapons of mass destruction are being housed. Still, I think it's simipler, cheaper and more respectful just to send the weapons inspectors in to get those.
Geez, we don't need a war for that? Didn't Saddam once invite the CIA to come find anything it wants? Why didn't the US take him up on that offer? Was it because the US didn't want the weapons inspectors to find anything and that this war is actually for reasons that haven't been publicly expressed?
Oh. Where are those three mystery ships at sea we all were so deeply worried about, not too far back? Do the Iraqis really have American uniforms? Or do the Americans have Iraqi unforms?
Geez, this war is oh, so confusing. If only there was at least a tiny bit of element of truth to it! Oh, well. I guess at least it is true that "in war truth is the first casualty," and that "old soldiers don't die young, just young ones do." |
