speed blogging
I don't have a lot time or initiative to blog right now, at least the way I usually do it...so I'm just gonna throw some sheet down.
My knee jerk reaction to the news about Blix and the data he left out of his oral report to the Security Council is one of milldly unsurprised shock. I had hoped out of all of this that at least the weapons inspectors could be trusted to do their job. I mean as much as I am a supporter of Bush, I sometimes have my doubts...and as for the Germans and French, while I disagree I don't necessarily think that they're all anti war out of the goodness of their hearts. And I know Saddam has been a liar all along. But the inspectors? I say mildly unsurprised because I've just gotten used to expecting the unexpected...I would bet that most of us have. And I'm sorry, but if Blix did what I think he did and has been hiding or covering or going soft on Saddam...well the inspection process has lost every last shred of believability, purpose and is now completely irrelevent.
As wrong as I've felt that Germany, China, France and Russia have been thus far...well...they just look like complete drooling morons now!
Oh and another thing, where do the French and Belgians come off being so holier than thou. They both pursued brutal colonist expasnion in the last few centuries...especially the Belgians who used the Congo as a personal slave state.
And the Germans, after being a prime aggitator in the first World War and the instigator of the second...hell they should recognize tyranny when they see it...I suppose the French should too, but then they're just collaborators and appeasars....somehow I would bet that French are just pissed since they lost their middle eastern holdings after the WWII.
(this is a rant, I could be wrong on my facts in a few spots...but it needed to be let out)
