-Caveat Lector- Monday, February 10, 2003 http://www.stratiawire.com/article.asp?id=899 TONY BLAIR CAN'T TAP DANCE, EITHER
FEBRUARY 10. MSNBC is now reporting that the recent "fine piece of work" released by the British government on Iraq's secret machinations was largely plagiarized from a student's paper (!) that was published in a professional journal about a year ago. Plagiarized, spelling errors and all. But Tony Blair maintains that "other sections" of the government report really were the result of actual intelligence work. He regrets the inadvertent error of not crediting the source of the bulk of the paper. We all know about closing the barn door after the horse has gotten out, but this has the additional feature of tap dancing in front of the barn. Combined with crying wolf once too often. A nasty sight indeed. This report was praised by Colin Powell when he addressed the UN last Wednesday. But hey, what does Powell know? He was too busy rehearsing for his big moment with a pointer and slide show to actually find out whether the Brits had their heads on straight. And Powell was also quite involved with getting all the captions correct on those photos of secret Iraqi WMD sites that no one can interpet. My, my. "Did you really do your own homework, Jimmy?" "Yes." "Are you sure?" "Well, I cheated on this part, but over here I wrote it myself." "You know that gets you an automatic F." "Why? That's not fair." The dog ate his homework. The dog was eaten by a wolf. The wolf was baying at the moon. The moon was a WMD bunker. The bunker was an evaporated milk factory. The factory was a wooden model constructed at Langley. Langley is a liar's paradise. Paradise is where they told the old assassins in training they would go after they killed people. Tony Blair is a PR man with a good haircut somebody snatched up and put in the prime minister's chair. Without adult supervision---and there seems to be a shortage of that going around these days---Blair and Bush should be kept in a pen or on a golf course. Hit a shot, get out the thermos and have a gulp of gin, tell a lie, kick the other guy's ball off the fairway into the rough, fall down on knees and utter a prayer, get up and stagger on. Except a million lives or more are at stake here. That's what happens when you vote for anybody in a major party on both sides of the Atlantic. It's wall to wall liars. They were brought up that way. They learned to lie and cheat at an early age. They are so wrapped up in doing it they can't stop and contemplate the REAL consequences, even after they ascend to their cheap gold-plated thrones. The voters' failure to recognize this pervasive pattern of deceit is called faith and innocence and good- heartedness and trust---all those wonderful qualities we are urged to embrace. I call it stunted development. Little boys and girls who want to love something so bad or kill something so bad they can't stop. I'm reminded of photo clips of kids who had enlisted and been drafted into Hitler's youth program. Shining faces, glowing eyes, perfect health. Then, onward, into the abyss.
