The breaking news story at this moment (at least on the BBC) is that the US has stopped looking for weapons of mass destruction. What pisses me off about this is that a few weeks ago George Tenet, the CIA director whom assured the President that these weapons were there got awarded the highest medal a civilian can get in the US, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Why? Look, I have said before and I will say it again. I was for this war on the principle that if there was the possibility of a threat we should not take any chances. I was never in favor of freeing these people. The story/reasons for this war have changed and since the Administration does not feel that changing these is an issue then neither should we. My opinion is now clear, get out of this fucking place and fuck these people. If they get out of hand bomb the shit out of them. We should not continue to risk out children, brothers, and sisters lives for a people who have as much common sense as a goat on a slaughter table.
