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.
