Ramblings

I heard Kinky Friedman on a MSNBC morining show last week. He said if he ran again in 2010 he wold have to be as an Trojan Horse. He would join one of the major parties but become a Independent if he won. So, in the future do we have to find our Trojan Horses?

The pols talk about a shared investment for the war. One way is to share the cost with a tax and that would make the anti-war movement to get stronger. But the only way to end this part of the war, Iraq, is a shared understanding that congress will need a override veto vote, and that means electing candidates that want this war to end. I separate the war in Iraq from the war on Terrorism.

I just finished "Legact of Ashes", The History of the CIA. In the spring of 1990 Saddam began buiding up for the Kuwait invasion. The CIA said "Iraq is Bluffing." During the war the CIA was to pick the bombing targets and all they did was kill hundreds of woman and children with their wrong selections. Then during the first Gulf War, we bombed everything we could but we missed Iraq's nuclear-weapons development facility. So when Cheney became the VP his trust that the CIA could provide any intelligence worth using was nil. The second Iraq War was always going to happen.
