It Should've Been Me
Hmmm looks like ol' George Dubya's finally found someone with WMDs. All that rootlin' around to no avail in Iraq, and all the time Kim Jong-il has been "reprocessing spent nuclear fuel rods, a key step towards building up its nuclear arsenal". Hey George ! Anyone with half a brain could have pointed you in the right direction months - if not years ago.
Surely there's a lesson here for every member of the so-called *Axis of Terror* ? Yup, that's right. Start producing REAL WMDs as soon as possible. The minute you are perceived as a PROPER threat (not a 2-bit, nonentity of a threat like Iraq, I mean one that could feasibly start blowing up most of the world), George and his *posse* start coming across all circumspect. Oh sure the rhetoric is there, but it has a conciliatory tone that is frankly unbecoming of a Hawk like George.
Asked whether Mr Bush might resort to military force against North Korea, Mr McClellan (White House spokesman) said: "The president never takes options off the table, but it's something that we want to address in a multilateral way."
"A multilateral way" ??? I guess God's given up advising him.
I've an awful feeling about this. Turns out that Mr Studabaker has been investigated twice for "improper behaviour" with children. I know both charges were dropped but it certainly makes the "I didn't know she was only 12" defence look a little ragged. I hope I'm wrong, but a 31 year old man who travels half the world to elope with a young girl/woman, discovers that Interpol is looking for him and then offers a letter written by the girl as evidence he did nothing, sounds like a man with problems to me. In the meantime he phones home and Shevaun's nowhere to be found.
So has Tony given up the ghost on the fight for the *Guantanamo Bay 2* ? It looks like the implications of the World's Superpower flouting all known International law regarding the arrest, imprisonment and charging of these men; notwithstanding the lack of independant defence lawyers etc., has resulted in a legal minefield too tricky for the UK governement to dare set foot in. Sad. Very sad. The foremost *Democracy* in the world and Habeas Corpus is still treated with the same respect George III gave it over 200 years ago. The Founding Fathers must be spinning in their graves.
Still, modern politics dictate that there's an election to be won in the not-too-distant-future, and George Dubya would appear to be focussing on that right now. Giving in to lily-livered liberals (even his favourite poodle), will sure as hell lose some votes in those *difficult* States. Who knows ? Could mean even more hanging chads !
