Iraqi mobile labs nothing to do with germ warfare, report finds
http://www.observer.co.uk/Print/0,3858,4691603,00.html
An official British investigation into two trailers found in northern Iraq has
concluded they are not mobile germ warfare labs, as was claimed by Tony Blair
and President George Bush, but were for the production of hydrogen to fill
artillery balloons, as the Iraqis have continued to insist.
What I have found interesting has been Shrub’s and Blair’s desperation and need
to continually overstate the evidence. They were both clinging to the mobile
lab as evidence of WMD as people cling to a life raft.
At the very least, I think (and pray) that they are both about to be handed
their pink slips. I think they deserve worse -- far worse -- but I think they
will both escape any more serious punishment.
That’s politics.
Americans should remember well the lessons of both Viet Nam and Iraq (x 2!) and
find a more benign role in the world of the future. We’re not making, or even
keeping, many friends with all of this economic manipulation and aggression. We
should be trying to keep our old friends while making no new enemies.
I know, I know -- my views are SO radical.
