2/13/2003 12:52:00 AM | Jared Alessandroni Two Big Things The first is Patriot II - most of us knew it was coming, but here are the details. The other is the finding that one of Iraq's missiles is in violation of UN standards. The missile, which is supposed to only go 90 miles goes 114. Now, forgive me if I'm taking this the wrong way, but, that's like a town further away. Who the Hell cares? But, not only that, the US expects them to relinquish this already deployed weapon immediately. Now, if you're not a conservative and thus have the cabability to experience empathy, imagine that you're Iraq. You publish in your report weeks ago that you have these missiles which go a bit further than expected. Now, for reasons that still have never been clarified, a major country is planning with or without support to attack you for real in the near future. If this is the case, why in the world would you give up those weapons? Right, it would be stupid. So, here's the thing - if you don't give them up, you give the country who's going to attack you anyway more justification, if you do, you make it easier for them to kill you. I can't wait to see the headling Saddam refuses to cooperate with the UN and the killer is that so many people will read that and say, figures. perma link |
