So let me get this straight... The Bush Administration accuses Iraq of playing games... and I quote Colin Powell (who I'm quickly losing respect for) here... 'Once again, [Saddam] started to play the game that he has been playing for the last 11 or so years to divert our attention, to throw chafe up to confuse, to cause us to lose our way in applying our will.' He of course is referring to the destruction of the missiles over the last few days. So what do you call this constant leaking information little by little that we have which alleges the location of Iraq's weapons...? Not a game? For example, Today Powell says that U.S. intelligence indicates Iraq is hiding chemical and biological weapons in poor neighborhoods and that Iraq has hidden equipment to produce Al Samoud 2 missiles even as it destroys existing ones under United Nations supervision. Powell continued to say that while all these inspections have been happening, Iraq moved chemical and biological weapons to areas near the Turkish and Syrian borders and parked old trucks loaded with banned weapons in poorer working class neighborhoods around Baghdad to avoid detection. So if we know this, if we have in fact spotted trucks being moved that contain biological and chemical weapons (I'm giving the Bush Administration the benefit of the doubt here and stopping short of calling them liars)... then why the fuck don't we just tell the U.N. inspectors where these trucks are and have the U.N. Inspectors go check it out!?!? Isn't that simple enough? Why is it that shortly after every time Bush runs up against a wall with the international community he just keeps leaking some more intelligence that he, oops, 'forgot to tell us about' the last time he attempted to make his utterly unconvincing case. I can just see Bush in the oval office... 'Well, gee. Maybe *THIS* will convince 'em!' Or could it be that George Bush has a huge hard-on at the thought of lobbing missiles into Baghdad and nothing is going to stop this man from declaring war? | private feedback | |
