Plus and minuses with this drive by posting, but - eh - workin' for me right now, I guess.

Libby versus Sandy Burglar, where's the justice in that?

A new report on Saddam's WMD ... still probably not as lethal as the idiot Liberals running for Prez.

More terror trouble in Spain?

Hopefully the people of Spain will learn the lesson that when you appease terrorists the only thing you get is more threats and more violence. Maybe just maybe the people of Spain will become stronger because of it.

That report on the WMD is amazing. Not that they knew where the WMD were, but that it has been hushed up for the sake of politics.

Can't we just get a King and do away with the stupid government? Or at least grant the president head-chopping powers.

Be careful what ya wish for.

The report on WMDs has too much of the "truthers" about it for me. It would require that the U.S. Government keep a secret. If recent history has taught us anything, it is that the Government cannot. Many involved people would have outed these events before now if they were true.

No Fred the far left media and the left leakers in the Government would keep a secret if they knew it would hurt the Bush administration.

Anyone who watched Iraq since 1991 -- back when the UN and the US were singing from the same sheet of music -- was fully aware that Iraq had boatloads of contraband. The UN itself, between '91 and late '98, found roughly 8,000 chemical warheads. And what's more, about 6,500 of them hadn't been incinerated when Iraq ... um ... "kindly asked the UN to leave".

So those 6,500 were still there, locked in UN "controlled" warehouses for the four years that Iraq went UN-less.

And Blix? one of the first things he did when he went back in late '02 was check up on those warehouses. Without exception: locks broken, warehouses empty. Check out the transcripts of his first report to the UNSC. "6,500 chemical warfare bombs unaccounted for..."

Only a grade-A bozo would suggest that Iraq waited until the UN had found all their hooch before getting indignant enough to act. Did Iraq have more than the UN found? duh. Not only was the UN the international-politics version of Keystone Cops who could only find their own butts if they used both hands and a road map -- and had a week head start -- but Iraq was, in terms of child development psychology, the prototypical teenager pouting in his room.

Any parent of a teenager knows that when you're searching your kids' room for Playboy magazines, and he says nothing when you dig the Playboys out of his sock drawer, and rolls his eyes when you find the ones in his bookbag, but has a fit when you find the ones under his mattress, **you know** you're on to something major, and it goes beyond Playboys.
