Krauthammer
on Iraq
Charles
delivers
a mighty beating to the post-war "it was all a lie!!" crowd:
The inability
to find the weapons is indeed troubling, but only because it means that
the weapons remain unaccounted for and might be in the wrong hands.
The idea that our inability to thus far find the WMDs proves that the
threat was phony and hyped is simply false.
If the U.S. intelligence
agencies bent their data to damn Saddam, why is it that the French,
German and Russian intelligence services all came to the same conclusion?
Why is it that every country on the Security Council, including Syria,
in the unanimous Resolution 1441, declared that Saddam had failed to
account for the tons of chemical and biological agents he had in 1998?
If he had destroyed them all by 2002, why did he not just say so, list
where and when it happened, and save his regime?
[...]
Everyone thought
Saddam had weapons because we knew for sure he had them five years ago
and there was no evidence that he disposed of them. The WMD- hyping
charge is nothing more than the Iraqi museum story Part II: A way for
opponents of the war--deeply embarrassed by the mass graves, torture
chambers and grotesque palaces discovered after the war--to change the
subject and relieve themselves of the shame of having opposed the liberation
of 25 million people.
As usual, read the
rest.

I told you so: Ducati breaks through
 Ducati
have
won their first MotoGP race, in only their sixth attempt. I
told
you they would.
Meanwhile,
Suzuki - who raced their four-stroke all of last year - managed a best
place of 15th. Kawasaki - who have been racing their four-stroke since
late last season - finished 17th. Aprilia - who raced all last year -
managed a 12th in the hands of Haga.
Ducati
have well and truly humiliated the non-Honda manufacturers. Just think
how good these bikes will be next year.
Meanwhile
Carlos "Crasher" Checa continues his inexplicable employment
at Yamaha with a 4th place. Checa has been on superfast works machinery
for the last eight seasons and has won only twice (last in 1998, and never
outside Spain). Why do people keep hiring this b-grader?

Nutter boy is back!
 Ladies
and gents, I present another Richard Neville essay: The
Doors of Deception, a Death Metal Soundtrack.
Most
of the fun with Richard is figuring out exactly what he is talking
about. Get a load of this opening paragraph:
I stand on the
terrace of the Sydney Opera House taking in the night-sweep of the Harbour
Bridge and the twinkling downtown office blocks. Two Union Jacks flutter
from the iron coathanger, a double dose of patriotism. Chattering patrons
toss back champagne, a cheroot of medical marijuana is pressed to my
lips. The skyline ever more resembles Manhattan. I turn my gaze to the
ivory sails soaring above, muttering, “at least we won this battle”,
as a bell signals the start of Sibelius. “No”, snarls a divided
self, “it was a draw”. The building’s exterior is a triumph,
the interior a tragedy, thanks to a long gone Minister of Works. The
divas struggle to overcome the woodwork. And so it is with Australia.
On the outside it’s a dazzling spectacle of golden beaches, prancing
starlets and fine dining, while on the inside, dug into a Canberra hill,
it’s a toxic cabinet of lawyer-politicians who will stop at nothing
to further their own ambitions, including the killing and maiming of
innocents in a land that did them no harm.
What's remarkable
here is that he could have deducted the entire 121-word portion before
"Australia" and made exactly the same point with infinitely
more clarity.
To save
you the effort, I've word-filtered the rest of his essay:
Americans
evil,
Capitalism bad,
Let's go hump tree.
Well,
it's not quite his complete essay, I admit. I've left out the final section
where he gets evidence of US atrocities from such notable psycho sites
www.whatreallyhappened.com, and
http://islamonline.net.
And people
actually pay this freak for speaking
engagements.
