joke of the day
Knock knock?
Who's there?
Not the Iraq Survey Group, they packed up before Christmas.
Yes, that's right, the U.S. officially gave up it's search for the Weapons of Mass Destruction (and, for that matter, the "weapons of mass destruction program related facilities" that spoken of in last year's state of the union address) almost a month ago.
Not that it didn't find anything, not that it was too dangerous to continue the futile search, not that the dissolving wasn't inevitable after nothing turned up in the months after invasion, not that this is unexpected, is this news newsworthy. No, it's that it is only now being acknowledged.
Given that the existence of WMD's was the original justification and purpose for the war, it is odd that it has taken this long for the end of the search to be reported. I find it unnerving. I don't know that it is the fault of the news media for not reporting it or the government's for not bothering to tell anyone, but something seems very undemocratic about this. We, being in a democracy, should have been told immediately. We should have known right away.
In any case, Dubya still believes the war was "absolutely" worth it, as he told Barbara Walters in an interview to be aired on Friday. He also is maintaining his hardline approach to never ever admitting a mistake and suggesting that he, being alone in the world on this one, still thinks eventually we will find something...even now that no one is looking.
...I bet the second that nobody finds something while not looking, it'll be all over the fucking wall.
*sigh*
