WMD’S – SADDAM’S VS. GEORGE’S

Dear Wall Street Journal Editors:

Your anonymous editor’s August 23^rd op/ed capped “Saddam’s WMD” sets a new standard for neo-con ditto-headedness in its justifying U.S. pre-emptive war against Iraq on the “global hygiene”-high moral grounds of Saddam’s (1) megalomania (2) invasion of Kuwait (3) gassing his own people (4) tossing out UN weapons inspectors (5) harboring terrorists (!) (6) retaining infrastructure for making WMD’s and (7) hating America.

Did Cheney pen and  pass you this consummate hypocrisy or did your nameless editor actually miss the point that he was condemning a tiny tea pot on behalf of a titanic kettle for WMD blackness?

Forget the ex-post facto, bootstraps tactic of invading Iraq for declared purposes and, failing therein (finding WMD’s and 9/11 complicity), reflexively focusing on the hypocrisies in the above “magnificent seven”: (1) Bush as a megalomaniac makes Saddam appear both clean shaven and lobotomized. (2) Preemptive invasions of Afghanistan + Iraq exceed invasion of Kuwait by 100%. (3) (THE BIGGIE) – Bush’s military hasn’t gassed anyone–yes; but he’s done infinitely worse, quantitatively and qualitatively:  He has unleashed and exploded to toxic and ambient dust over 130 tons of depleted uranium with our military’s Abrams, Bradley and A-10 Warthog war machines.  The dust from these weapons, once inhaled, accounts for our friendly-fired (U.S.) casualties in the 1991 Gulf War and untold Iraqi innocents and  dying soldiers (both sides) returning from the awful shock and smoke of our 2003 Iraq invasion.

          Radioactive sickness is infinitely more “sickening” than “gas” weapons, and the dust, 60 percent as lethal as natural uranium, will stay there sickening and killing  people for 9 billion years.  (4) Bush didn’t toss out UN inspectors, he gave them an option of staying away or dying. (5) Which is worse…harboring terrorists or being terrorists?  I’d say invading a country on false pretenses and killing 20,000 to 45,000 innocents in the process, and thereafter  deploying DU poisons and killing and sickening countless more qualifies Bush for that label.  (7) The U.S. retains more WMD infrastructure than all nations of the world combined, from plutonium warheads to germ warfare; they all use us as either a model or direct source for WMD’s.  (8) Hating everyone who opposes American (PNAC) foreign policy goes without question in Bush’s roadmap to Middle Eastern peace.

          I really can’t fault the WSJ Editor who withheld his by-line for this peerless exercise in hyperbolic hypocrisy.
