Some Mothers Do 'ave 'em ...

Not much time to post today. Nor much time for reflection. But I'm posting because i'm so excited to have a blog. ... and i don't want this vehicle for reflection to fall to the wayside like my trips to the gym ... so to post ...

You think that reason, and studying, and basic human sanity will eventually redeem the world. Like, through honest debate, people will eventually see the truth.

Then you see people like this guy.

I’m sick and bleeping tired of the absurdity of the “no WMD” argument, the failure of the Mainstream Media to read their own news reports over the past two-plus years our forces have been in Iraq (and the 7-plus years since The Clinton Administration made the same WMD claims–See Updates 4 and 5 below), and the failure of this administration and the congressional majority to defend itself on the topic.

I was looking for a discussion-board acquaintance's blog when i googled "No WMDs 'eh?" and there were all sorts of hits, and on a lark, I decided to check this one out.

This is old news, and it isn't meant as a startling revelation on anything topical. I'm presenting it as evidence of the folly of imagining that anyone capable of tying their own shoes can be convinced that up is up, right is right, water is wet, etc.,

I didn't bother to check out the evidence that this fellow has gone to so much busy-work to compile. True-believer David Kay's admission after an exhaustive search REALLY should have sealed the coffin of Saddam's WMDs for all time. I read the comments section almost all the way through and evidently he's amassed drivel from like-minded right-wing shitheads with no credibility, and found news about the same piles of junk that loser Rick Santorum and forgotten pal dredged up a couple of years ago.

What's startling is that this guy is evidently articulate, and knows how to read and research (to an extent anyway) but he's still compelled by some sort of blinkered fanaticism, to see what isn't there and to make the connections that not even the imbecile [p]resident he worships can make.

Evidently there really are WMDs in Iraq. Significant amounts. But the TRUTH can't get through the media filters don't you know. Not even FOX News, a Congressional majority, and the Whitehouse can get through to Americans that Saddam Hussein had tons and tons and tons of Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Actually, my brain is boggling trying to convey the extent of this person's delusion and paranoia. I'd better stop right now.
