Is the world safer yet?
Yesterday the House of Representatives, apparently not having any real work to do, passed a resolution declaring that the world is safer since the removal of Saddam Hussein (Yahoo! News:Unbelievable Bullshit). The resolution was passed several hours after a bomb went off in a Baghdad hotel, destroying the building and killing at least 27 people. I couldn't make this shit up. 327 members of the US Congress are still living in a dream land where the Iraq war is both winnable and justified, but members of the Coalition of the Bribed are waking up. Last Saturday the voters of Spain decided their government had told one lie too many and elected a new prime minister who pledged to pull Spanish troops out of Iraq on June 30. Today the president of Poland admitted he was "taken for a ride" about Weapons of Mass Destruction™ in Iraq and is considering following Spain's lead (Yahoo! News:
Poland Says It Was Misled Over WMD in Iraq) and a minister in the Italian government said "The war may have been a mistake. Perhaps there were ways it could have been avoided ... What is certain is that it wasn't the best thing to do." (Yahoo! News:
Iraq war 'may have been a mistake'). Some of the rats are finally starting to jump off this sinking ship, but the fattest rats are still feasting it up in Washington and London. It's time to call Pest Control.
