A COUPLE QUICK THOUGHTS
I was watching the UN session this morning, and a thought hit me, like a bolt of lightning, or at least like an empty missile capable of going 12 miles:
George W Bush and his administrtion LIED about alleged office vandalism by outgoing members of the Clinton administration, not to mention the alleged theft of various White House items by the former first couple. They simply MADE IT ALL UP. Thus, why the fuck should I believe a damn word they say about the weapons inspctions?!?
After all, they're thousands of miles away, and the Bushies were lying about things happening in DC. Furthermore, the attitude of Bush and his cohorts to Bill Clinton, as well as the rhetoric, is strikingly similar to their attitude towards Saddam. Sure, Clinton was never an evil dictator -- he was legally elected, not something Bush can say about himself -- but Bush sure talked about him as if he was one. Remember the 2000 GOP primaries? Bush threw a hissyfit because in a campaign ad, John McCain compared him to -- gasp!! -- Bill Clinton! The nerve!
The point is, we saw the tactics used by Bush against the Clinton administration. There's no reason to believe those same tactics wont, or haven't already been employed with Saddam. Hell, they probably want their Iraq war even more than they ever wanted to demonize Clinton. We'll see what happens. As that Bond-girl from Goldeneye said, they're like "boys with toys!"
