WTF Is It Now?!?

Smirky O'Harken intently watches the Marx Brothers' classic Duck Soup.



GUILTY NO MATTER WHAT
Betcha didn't hear this on the Sunday morning propaganda talk shows.

"Now we know just how vicious Saddam Hussein can be. Agreeing to unconditional United Nations inspections at a time when our president had his heart set on war is just the sort of mean-spirited treachery that one can expect from this modern-day Hitler." - Robert Scheer writes.

"...it would be a global embarrassment if Bush at this point turned down Saddam Hussein's offer of unconditional inspections.

"Still, we must go to war or voters might start focusing on the dismal state of the economy under George W. Bush's stewardship and return a Democratic Congress in the November elections, right?

"But it also would be devastating if inspectors went there and found only old U.S. ordnance given to Iraq by Bush's father and Reagan. It was embarrassing enough for the younger Bush in his speech to the United Nations to be reduced to trotting out examples of Iraq's war crimes from the days when Hussein was a de facto ally of the United States. It's so inconvenient that Iraq did not appear to use any chemical or biological weapons during the Gulf War or in the decade since but definitely did back when Hussein was our partner in the war against Iran's Islamic revolution.

"Worse, U.S. companies, with the permission of the Reagan and elder Bush administrations, supplied Hussein with the ingredients for making such savage weapons."

Yeah, but President Clinton had sex!!
