TAKE NOTE: This commentary/thread was first posted in June 2003. Was brought back up due news this morning (July 13, 2004) about: "NON-EXISTENT WMDs".

Being thoroughly disgusted with people playing politics with My/Our survival, I thought that maybe the following letter to a couple of newspapers might help let-off a little steam,...plus let some patriots on patriotfiles.com chime-in and also let-off-steam.


My 2 Cents on WMDs

Lately, one can't help notice that so many American Officials, Party Leaders and/or career politicians pontificate quite similarly as their French, German, Russian and UN counterparts, and especially about Weapons of Mass Destruction. Except for accents, it's truly hard distinguishing one from the other.

Thusly, I would suggest that religiously devout, connected and/or beholding American Followers of such political oneupsmanship above all else types, start quite differently thinking for themselves about WMD's. After all, and whether Republican/Conservative or Democrat/Liberal/Socialist, we're talking about devastatingly lethal stuff here that doesn't differentiate between whatever political bent it kills. Besides, all Americans are at risk, and even those way-to-young to vote.

Granted, as an American Veteran it's only natural concluding that My Government, The Military and Military Intelligence are infinitely more believable and trustworthy than foreign enemies, enemy collaborators like the purposefully deceptive French, Germans, Russians, UN, and even some like-minded American Leftists. Guess such could be called that old common sense and "Duty, Honor, Country" thing VS. that politically winning power and control AT ANY COST thing?

Plus, apparently having a better memory than most also sort-of validates my way of thinking. I so state, since as to WMD's, doesn't anyone else remember a very important fact? Such being that The French, Germans, Russians and UN Officials (some American nay-sayers also) held-off the inevitable war with Iraq for AN ADDITIONAL 2-3 months more.

The point being made here is that if I had as many powerful friends and collaborators as Iraq, and was also gifted: "AN ADDITIONAL 2-3 months more" to make arrangements,...I could have easily hidden The Empire State Building in Antarctica, and probably even The Brooklyn Bridge to-boot.

Still, and even though Iraq is a large country and: "Like looking for needles in a hay stack", one hopes that most WMD's are eventually found there. Though, I wouldn't shrug-off also looking for WMD's under The Eiffel Tower, in Germany and Russia, or even under some palace in Damascus. After all,...seems sensible and logical also.
