Dr frisky’s Random Post of Wisdom
This week’s topic: Dude, where are my WMDs?
It is a known fact of life: politicians lie. Not just American politicians, but all politicians. They have to in most cases. They lie all the time. They sugar-coat the negative and exaggerate the positive. They bend the rules to suit their agenda. They tell us what we want to hear, just so we will look past their shortcomings and give them our trust; and our vote.

Clinton lied about getting a blowjob; and for managing that stunt in the Oval Office of all places, Dr frisky salutes you, Mr. Clinton! Bush lied about Saddam and his WMDs, as well as his supposed link to the horrible events on that fateful Tuesday: September 11, 2001. But this lie is much bigger than just a lie. Its a question of morality, ethics, and humanity. All Clinton did was get off by some chick (and for that Dr frisky salutes Mr. Clinton). Bush’s lies have resulted in countless deaths, the decline of the US economy, alienation of the US from its closes allies, a much more dangerous world.

Flip side to the coin. Yes, the Iraqis are better off without Saddam. Yes, in a democracy, everyone wins. But it is still hard to fathom how easy it was for Bush to lie to the American people, and take young US soldiers to war, with no exit strategy, no plans for peace. I can not help but worry that the biggest loser in all this could very well be the democrats. They closed their eyes, and their judgment, and chose to follow Bush into war. All the democrats seemed to loose their voices overnight, just because most of the American people had been brainwashed by this government into believing in a threat that was never there. I do not know if even they realise the damage they have done to the world. They have set a dangerous precedent, of starting pre-emptive, and preventive wars. Whats to stop India from attacking Pakistan tomorrow? Or Vice Versa? Hey, if the only remaining superpower in the world can do it, whats stopping them?

Im could say I told you so. I could say that I had it all right from the beginning. I saw through the retoric and never believed there were any WMDs in the first place. I remember some people emailing me telling me how right they were and wrong I was. How it “is only a matter of time before the WMDs show up in Iraq.” To them Dr frisky says: Its not your fault that you dont have a brain. Im sorry youre so fucking stupid.

Words escape even Dr frisky right now. So I will leave it to David Kay, the Iraq Survey Group’s leader to summarize the blunder:
“It turns out we were all wrong, and that is most disturbing.”

Disturbing indeed.
