a broken lull.

you know, i get pissed everytime Bush and his cronies try to peddle their line about "the United Nations Security Council knew he had weapons, everybody agreed he had them and that he was a threat, that's why they told him to disarm. and he wouldn't disarm." see, this logic makes it look as though the intelligence they got was believed by 'everyone in the world!', so they don't have to apologize for acting on it, see? but, see -- and this is what insults me the most -- they gloss over the little fact that the United Nations did not think Saddam Hussein was a threat. if they did, why did the U.S. need Colin Powell to go make a big (stupid, fuckin') show in front of the entire world to convince them otherwise? how come Hans Blix couldn't find any weapons? how come :: they would not sign :: a declaration fo war along with the U.S.?? they would have if they thought Saddam Hussein was ready and able to use weapons of mass destruction!! don't try to re-write history (again. these guys...).

maybe these guys saw the same evidence as you guys did. i have no doubt about it. but what they didn't do was :: go to war like crazy, rabid dogs ::. which tells us something about you guys now. how come you were so gung-ho on going to war with Iraq? seriously. you're saying everyone was on the same page; how come you're the only ones who went to war. how come 95% of the world was so adamently against it, and you? how come the rethoric changed from "weapons of mass destruction" to "weapons programs" and then to "weapons program-related activities"? now you're coming back with weapons of mass destruction? dudes, that's so 2002. just a bit after 9/11, back when the world loved and supported you like no one ever has.

see, the United Nations had Iraq in check. they had inspectors in Iraq for the past few years. they were monitoring their activities day in and day out. they didn't need to go in and bomb the damn country again. Saddam was a bad man, yes. but he was no threat to the world at large (maybe to Israel... who knows). but. BushCo is trying to bring in the U.N. (now, after saying for months last year that the organization was most probably bullshit since it wasn't agreeing with it; same for 95% of the countries in the world. good going, George) into it's little justification for war. i can't believe they have the gall to say this people's faces.

the only thing Iraq achieve was divert funds and an enormous amount of troops from the actual War on Terror. if i'm fighting a fiery gang war in my neighborhood i'm not gonna stop in the middle of it to go after the guy who stole a candy bar.

rant done.
