Jayson/ThiChi,
Please READ the following article by Mark Morford, a San Fransisco Gate Columnist, and give us your illuminated opinions. Don't just ignore it and change the subject...as usual.
No WMDs after all,
no excuse for War,
too late for anyone
to care anymore.
Ha-Ha, suckers.
Ha-ha-ha oh man did we ever get smacked on that one. Conned big time. Punk'd like dogs. Just gotta shake your head, laugh it off. They reamed us good, baby! Damn.
Turns out it really was a big joke after all. The war, that is. All a big fat nasty murderous oil-licking lie, a sneaky little power-mad game with you as the sucker and the world as the pawn and BushCo as the slithery war thug, the Dungeon master, the prison Daddy. You really have to laugh. Because it's just so wonderfully ridiculous. In a rather disgusting, soul-draining sort of way.
See, there are NO weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. No WMD's at all. Isn't that great? What's more: There never were. Ha-ha. Gotcha!
No warehouses teeming with nuclear warheads, no underground bunkers packed with vats of boiling biotoxins, no drums of crazy-ass chemical agents that will melt your skin and turn us all into drooling flesh-eating zombies--unless, of course, you count the sneering vat of conservative biotoxin that is, say, Fox News, in which case, hell yeah baby, we gotcher WMD's right here betcha.
Go figure. Those lowly U.N. inspectors were right after all. Who knew? It was all a ruse. We've been sucker-punched and ideologically molested and patriotically sodomised and hey, what the hell, who cares anyway, we 'liberated' an oppressed people most Americans secretly loathe and fear and don't understand in the slightest, even though that was never the point, or the justification, or the goal. Go team.
But wait, is liberation of a brutalised and tormented people now the reason? The justification for our thuggery? That is so cool! So that means we're going to blow the living crap out of Sri Lanka and the Sudan and Tibet and North Korea and about 47 others, right? Maybe Saudi Arabia too, second only to the Taliban itself in it's abuse of women? Cool! As if.
Ah, but screw the liberal whiny peacenik U.N. inspectors, right? Let's ask the U.S. search teams themselves, ShrubCo's own squadrons of biologists, chemists, arms-treaty enforcers, nuclear operators, computer and document experts and Special forces troops who've been in Iraq for weeks now, searching frantically.
Surely the've found something, right? Surely we can now prove that Saddam was fully intending to fillet our babies and annihilate Florida and poke the eyes out of really cute kittens on national TV for sadistic pleasure, right? Gimme a hell yeah!
Whoops. Bad news. As the Washington Post reports, the 75th Exploitation Task Force, the very serious-minded group heading up all U.S. inspections in Iraq, the group absolutely certain it would immediately find steaming neon-lit stockpiles of WMD's piled right next to Saddam's personal stash of gay porn and Britney Spears posters and opium pipes, is coming home with it's tail between it's legs. FOUND NOTHING. Nada.
Psychopatriots are a little non-plussed. Bush is merely "embarrassed." Peace advocates are sighing and drinking heavily. We have done this ghastly horrible inane hate-filled entirely unprovoked thing in the name of power and petroleum and military contracts and strategic empire building, our nation is numb and more bitterly divisive than ever and our leaders are not the slightest bit ashamed.
