Mudwoman, if you asking where the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq are, I can tell you quite simply. Either the weapons never existed in the first place or they were removed to friendly neighboring states long before the war started or they were indeed destroyed by Saddam Hussein in order to keep the Second Gulf War from happening. In any case, American troops were never in any danger of bio-chemical attack during the war, and, of course, neither were the American people. People who warned us on this issue, like Hans Blix and Scott Ritter, were subject to character assassination, Dixie-Chicks style; and the CIA, which is getting the blame for this incredible intelligence catastrophe, is --- as we speak --- trying to decide whether it is going to attack Dubya openly, since it was he who forced the CIA to commit the greatest of all sins in intelligence, viz. to doctor intelligence reports with a political slant. And Paul Wolfowitz, the dark genius behind much of this mess, admits --- OPENLY! --- in the July 2003 issue of VANITY FAIR that the WMD issue was NEVER anything more than an organizing hook for the entire operation: "For bureaucratic reasons we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction, because it was the one reason everyone could agree on."
Tony Blair is facing a very, very serious challenge to his leadership from the British people on this point, but the American people could not care less! By and large, these tens of millions of fascist pigs never were deceived by the rhetoric in the first place: the causus belli was cheap oil, the American people knew it, and the prices are already starting to drop --- a little --- at the pump. And Batchelor and Alexander on WABC-AM in New York City last night openly raved about the appearance of the American Empire (which, to my horror, they compared with the Roman Empire) and giddily advocated the military conquest of the rest of the Middle East!
Some of you are getting tired of hearing the sentiment, but, like Thomas Jefferson, I tremble for the future of my country when I reflect that God is just. I feel very deeply that I am living in the last days of Atlantis and that something truly horrible --- and truly deserved --- is going to happen to us all real soon. The wages of sin is death, for nations and even entire civilizations as for individuals. We have sinned, folks, very, very deeply sinned, and in some sense we are going to die for it. Soon.
Regards and best wishes to you all,
Joe Quinn
P.S. Mudwoman, my deepest condolences on your emotional suffering. As one who, at times, has experienced moods of depression, I know that no physical pain can possibly match it. May God's healing love surround you like a blast of warm dry air on a cold wet day, and may it do so this day and all days. And while we are on the subject of depression, have you ever thought that part of your depression is a result of your sensitivity to the fact that you live in a madhouse of homicidal lunatics who are trying to destroy themselves, their roommates and the entire building within which they live? There is no medication, Mudwoman, that can make that realization ever go away. No, Mudwoman, the only way in which you can cope with that realization which no medication can ever take away is to stand up, in your own personal way, to speak truth for power! As I know that you do...
Oh, and another way to deal with depression is to make other people depressed. If you work hard on your ham radio studies and get a ham license and tell us all about it, then I will be VERY depressed because I will realize, yet again, how lazy I am.
God's love and blessings be with you, Mudwoman!
