Bush maintains Iraq WMD claims.

How many times can he play this card?

Let's go pre-invasion for a moment. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that Saddam really did have the thousands of tons of chemical weapons the Bush administration says he had. And let's say that he really did have all the "nookyoolur" (as George W. pronounces it) capabilities they said he did. Now, given that we haven't found any of it, we have to ask, what happened to it?
Perhaps it was all moved. That would have taken a whole lot of trucks to transport all that stuff. We had spy planes in the air over Iraq constantly, and I don't recall seeing any reports of convoys of trucks leaving Iraq. It seems to me that if the administration had film of trucks leaving Iraq they could point to that and say, "See, Saddam's trying to get the stockpiles out of the country." But there was nothing like that reported in the news. Colin Powell was busy showing us pictures of "mobile chemical weapons plants" that turned out to be nothing of the sort.

If Saddam didn’t move the WMD out of the country, what happened to it? If it didn’t leave Iraq, it’s got to be in Iraq. Now, we’ve owned that country for how long now? There isn’t a square inch of Iraq that wasn’t open to our inspections after the invasion, we owned that country and could look anywhere we fucking wanted to. Still, we find nothing.

Bush is such a liar.

Friends don't let friends vote for Bush

I have a friend who, I’m very nearly certain, voted for Bush. He told me as recently as a week prior to the election that he was considering voting for Bush because of the terrorism issue. I’m thinking very seriously about cutting him off as a friend. You see, the problem isn’t necessarily that he voted for Bush, it’s that I no longer respect him for coming to that decision. Having succumbed to America’s jingoistic view of Muslims I now think that perhaps my friend doesn’t have the intellectual agility I originally credited to him. Is there any one else out there who feels betrayed by a friend who voted for Bush? I’m interested in reader’s opinions on the matter so please post a comment.

Away Too Long

I know...I know, its been far too long since my last post. But I'm here now and I'll catch you up on everything. So, since getting laid-off, I have been thinking about going back to school. The thing is, I've been thinking about going back for 10 years, but the thought of it always filled me with terror because I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do. Well, I decided to go to Seattle Central and get a certificate in computer networking. My thinking is this: get certified in something that leads to working smart instead of hard. Then, that job can take me back to school for something I really want to do. So anyway, there is a program through Unemployment Insurance called the Commissioner Approved Training Plan that allows one to go to school while still recieving one's unemployment benefits, without having to do the weekly job searches. The program doesn't pay for school, it just allows one to go to school and not have to work. Sounds like a great program, huh?...

How Boring

OK, so I decided that I wasn't going to write anything political, that I was just gonna write about personal stuff. And I haven't written a thing in two weeks. How boring is my life? But I've got some stuff coming.....
