“Waiting for Tony”


Well England Prime Minister Tony Blair claims he has evidence of weapons of mass destruction that would have justified the war. He claims that the actual evidence should be revealed in the up coming weeks. I am not sure the reason why he will reveal in spurts information about such weapons. Perhaps his girlfriend is completely over bearing and he has no balls. Perhaps before going to make an appearance before the media, his girlfriend will start crying so she gets her own way, and he will just have to break his promise. Maybe all the media will take bets to if he will show up or not.

Seriously for those of you who I didn’t alienate with that inside joke, think about this. The next few weeks could make or break what people think about Desert Storm 2. Many of the democrats claimed we wouldn’t find anything over there. Of course, their political party would benefit if we didn’t. So they are at home crossing their fingers.

The next few weeks, we will supposedly be given more information than ever before about the WEAPONS OF MASS DESTURCTION (I don’t even know what technically qualifies as such things at this point). Columnists and TV type people will analyze this information, and perhaps some people’s minds will be changed.

I am, sure if the wait is too long the NEW YORK TIMES will just make up stuff. If you didn’t hear a reporter of theirs apparently lied and made up stories for years, and many of his superiors were alerted by that almost a year in advance. I would tell you to look at my friend Drew’s TERMINUS who updates his blog regularly and loves current events, however he hasn’t touched this story yet. Maybe he is still under the impression that the New York Times is out for TRUTH JUSTICE and the AMERICAN WAY.

Meanwhile on FOX NEWS this weekend, I saw several shows that were hypothetically speaking about going to war with Iran. Was this just news people playing the devils advocate? Or is this related to the Bush admiration’s coziness with the network? Could this be the early stages of planting the seed in the American people’s mind that going after IRAN isn’t such a crazy idea. I did study Public Relations in school (not that it did me any good) and this does seem like an early stage tactic in getting support for yet another war. All of the sudden we are hearing just about as much of IRAN as we are IRAQ, and little to nothing about that other country….you know the one with all the really bad guys? I think that long bearded fellow lived there. What the heck was his name?

Seriously, though, we are now hearing debates about “weapons” in IRAN. There are also reports of many of the people IRAQ that we wanted ending up there on the run from the Americans. Now what are we going to do keep chasing these people all over the globe or is this just a whole bunch of crazy talk?

Beware the Trolls.
