Not to say he didn't try...

And then you wonder why he couldn't find anything...


It's hard to go through the news and not to take a moment to talk about results just turned in by the US Congress Comission about Massive Destruction Weapons in Irak...

If you have heard about it, you must know by now than after a year of investigation all evidence leading to believe that Irak had enough of these weapon to wreck the Middle East has shattered to zero (or very close to that, at least).

Conclusions say that intelligence information provided by official US agencies was either wrong or not properly certified. They make it clear, though, that it was the spies fault and that the Bush administration could not help that. Whether you want to believe this or not -especially after all this time and what this war has meant to the international community-, it's up to you.

Regardless of where you stood when all this war craziness started, I cannot help but wonder how will american people will face this.

It is not about being pro-war or against-war anymore. The thing is it has taken a full year for a official comission to state what 90% percent of the world population, plus all UN and independant inspectors were almost desperately shouting, before the bombs began to fall. Take this and sum it with fiasco of the most advanced intelligence services in the world, supposedly, providing such crappy data on such a crucial situation and you cannot stop your head from nodding out of consternation.

Can the people in the world really rely on what their governments tell them?
If I were in the US, I would start thinking seriously about it.

Are the threats from places like Iran or North Korea something that should really be taking into account?
A couple of years ago, the international community could have discussed or disagreed about
it. Now, nobody will know what to believe or what to attain to.

On a more local american ground, can anybody really overlook all that people's tax money so foolishly spent on lousy spying services and useless investigatios comissions (not to count war propaganda) ?

A few years ahead, however, looking from a strict chronological analysis, George W. Bush thesis might be quoted as real and coherent: He invaded Irak to destroy massive destruction weapons. A year later, there were no weapons of this kind in Irak... Forget about the fact that they were not there before... And there is no contradiction in all that.
