Hawkmoon, You are really stretching now. <vbg> Re: Blix -- Could your itsy-bitsy imagination get around the idea that Blix is a diplomat, and thereby capable of speaking out of both sides of his mouth? BTW, when are you volunteering to go to Iraq to find the WMDs? Hee, hee! You know as well as I do that they are a figment of some wild neo-conmen's vivid imaginations. :) ****** W/R/T Saddam Hussein -- I'd prefer to see his head on a pole in front of Viceroy Paul Bremer's new imperial seat of government. But that's just my opinion. As to how the "chase" is going now, it appears too much like Saddam is still in the employ of the C.I.A. and is being allowed to roam free in order to let the fascists like Tommy Ridge and John Trashcroft continue to scare the holy bee-jeezus out of the childlike population of America. You would have thought that the intelligence community of the U.S. would be too embarrassed by their failure to apprehend Osama Bin Laden, any of his four wives or several children and would conclude that they could play this deception against the American public again. But, alas, the public appears to be too naive to realize that they are being played for chumps by their own government.

FYI: ABM Test Failure In a shocking development, Bush/Cheney fail to classify the truth about this test failure. Although the budgets are still closely guarded "national secrets", aka slush funds for bribers. lasvegassun.com June 18, 2003 Test of Missile System Misses Target By B.J. REYES ASSOCIATED PRESS HONOLULU (AP) - A missile fired from a Navy cruiser missed its airborne target Wednesday in an unsuccessful test of a sea-based missile defense system, the Defense Department said. It was the second consecutive failed missile test over the Pacific after a series of successful strikes in the past 2 1/2 years, and the first failure of a sea-based test. An Aries target missile was launched at 1:15 p.m. from the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai and a Standard Missile-3 interceptor was fired from the USS Lake Erie, deployed at an undisclosed location in the Pacific, about two minutes later, officials said. Preliminary indications were that the SM-3 missed its target even though its guidance system was activated, Missile Defense Agency spokesman Chris Taylor said in a news release. Wednesday's launch was the fourth flight test of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system. The first three tests, all last year, were successful. The feat has been compared to hitting a bullet with a bullet. Government and industry officials are planning an extensive analysis of the latest test, the first since the Bush administration in December outlined plans to have a rudimentary missile defense system ready for use by 2005. Critics have questioned whether Bush's goal is feasible and whether the threat of attack is sufficient to justify the expense.
