Screw the UN and the horse it rode in on... Whata friggin' joke of an organization since the US decided a long, long time ago to marginalize it by, ahhhhhh, not paying it's dues... Heck, it took Ted Turner offering to anty up in order to get the US's attention to pay it's friggin' dues...

Now let' do a little review of the facts...

George Bush came into office wanting to go to war with Iraq... This was reported by ***his own*** Secretarty of the Treasury...

Then came 9/11 and he and his bud, Dick Cheney, went on a PR campaign to tell the American people that Iraq was involved... (BTW, this is all review, here...) so the American people got all lathered up for what they thought weould be a mop up operation against a 3rd rate military thinkin' that this would certianly make up for that bad taste they still had in their mouhts for the last war the US lost in Vietnam...

Yeah, their were aluminum tubes, an' WMD's, and uranium cakes... (BTW, who in the Hell would eat one of them things...) and all kinds of scarey stuff... Ptroblem was, at the time there were plenty of people in the intellegece community saying "bullsh*t" but the Goerge and Dick Show went rolling on with mushroom clouds and flag waving an' used their reliable stooges in the South to make going to war a guage of one's Americanism...

(Hmmmmm??? Remember Germany in the 30's and the brownshirts???)

So then there was "Shock 'n Awe" while the worlds strogest military wiped out a minor league military and Southern Man was so proud ridin' 'round in his pickup truck with half a dozen "Support the Troops" magnet stickers on his truck to show how American he was an' then...

Hmmmmmmm, a couple misfires and a completely screwed up idea met reality... Lets call this phase "Shock 'n Awe, Phase II" which we have been in now since George told us that the mission had indeed beeen accomplished... Problem is that the "Shock 'n Awe" is the look on any politican's face who bought all this bullsh*t in the first place...

Oh, somewhere in between the mission and the reasons for the war have bounced like a silly ball from "Saddam was a badman who gassed the Kurds" (with our gas and later given gifts from the US) to Democracy will save the Middle East (heck, it ain't doin' too well here...) and now our mission id to train up even more secritarian folks so they can better fight a civil war... No, we don't say thet is our mission... Might of fact, our mission changes almost daily... But here we currently think that if we could just train more folks to kill then all be would fine???

I mean, let's get friggin' real here!!!

We don't have a mission... What we have is a bungled chapetr of American history (with the Brits and few others dragged into our mess...)...

Ther is no mission... Their are plenty of George and Dick smoke 'n mirror shows but no mission other than so kinda "victory" which they themselves can't define...

This is purdy much where we find ourselves...

The Teribus's of Mudcat have lost this one, too... There is no "Rational thinking" in their camp anymore... Actaullu, never has been...

You can't have "rational thought" if you are stuck repeating behavior expecting a different result... Einstein defined that as insanity...

Insanity and rational thought don't mix...

And in the words of Walter Cronkite, "That's the way it is..."

Get the Hell outta Iraq NOW!!!
