Looking at the various news sites on the internet, and the daily newspaper, it is becoming pretty self evident that the Teflon administration may have gotten a stain. The oft touted ‘weapons of mass destruction’ in Iraq are nothing more than a marketing ploy.

To be honest, I thought it was all a big lie from the beginning. The very fuzzy satellite photos, obviously hand draw and doctored photos of unmanned aerial vehicles and weapons trucks didn’t convince me and they didn’t convince the UN. Working in the aerospace industry, I know how hard it is to create an unmanned vehicle that can travel any appreciable distance, no less half a world away. It was less than a year go that the United States could build a vehicle capable of this! How do they expect the Iraqis, who must be at least 30-50 years behind us, aerospace technologically speaking, be able to construct something that could come close to harming the United States. It was a farce then, it is a farce now. The satellite photos shown to us could of been anything. They looked like a worn down truck depot to me. At least with the Cuban missile crisis, it LOOKED LIKE they were building missile emplacements.

Now, to the meat of the problem: They can’t find A SINGLE WEAPON DESCRIBED TO BE AN IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES!

No one, single gram of anthrax, not a single vial of smallpox, not an ounce of Sarin. Nothing, nada, ZERO. What does this mean? For a country that was supposedly overflowing with these weapons, and just rearing to attack the U.S. it seems a little odd we have found nothing. There are 2 possibilities:

1) We have not found the small quantities they still have, and intelligence was wrong in assessing the capabilities of Iraq or…

2) There never were any of these ‘weapons of mass destruction’ still in Iraq. This indicates either a severe failure of American intelligence, or LIES were told to us by the administration.

If we were lied to, that means we attacked a sovereign nation, without provocation, and killed thousands of people with no justification. It is an impeachable offense, and can be tried under international law. It makes the U.S. no better than Germany in 1938 or Japan in 1941.

It only adds to my disgust of this administration if it true. I hope it is not, but it doesn’t look good now.

Well, the Shrub has decided that he will ‘deal with’ Syria next. He said they

“Just need to cooperate.” Well, I can read between the lines, I know how the Shrub makes other countries bend to the will of the United States, and that is with
the most advanced weaponry money can buy. It is a good thing we are ‘liberating’ the weakest countries in the world, while other nations with far more horrible, and truly evil regimes still exist. Heavan knows we don’t want a fair fight. That is the way bullies work. Say what you want about supporting our troops, but the truth of matter is a draft dodging AWOL creep from Texas is using the most powerful army in the world for some sort of personal vision of world domination with the United States firmly at the top. I am just sickened by it all.

Well, we have almost made half way through March and we are not bombing Iraq. It is not the fact it is a pretty pointless war, but the fact the administration can’t decide exactly why we are going to war. Another thing that disgusts me is the fact Bush is now saying ‘weapons of terror’ in a vain attempt to link Iraq with the September 11th attacks. Here is a little truth:
Of the all the hijackers on 9/11, exactly 0 (ZERO) were from Iraq.
Of all the money that was used to train the hijackers, $0 (ZERO) came from Iraq.
I am not sure why we want to go against a country which niether a threat to us or our allies. They may be able to threaten someone in 10 years or so. Another fact is Iran and North Korea have nuclear weapons NOW. Not tomorrow, not net week, NOW. North Korea has ICBM’s that CAN DIRECTLY HIT THE UNITED STATES. Ask yourself what is the more important threat?
