WMD Mystery Solved?

This young man thinks so. Of course, here’s the key question:

Glazov: So if all this evidence is credible, why wouldn’t the Bush Administration take advantage of this information?

Mauro: There are multiple ideas out there. I tend to believe that the foreign policy implications of these revelations explain the Administration

Dispatch From Bizarro World

United For Peace And Justice (gotta love the names these wackos come up with) plans to install a new US government next month:

For Nat Turner, For Martin and Coretta, For all the Torture and Assassination in Afghanistan, Iraq, Haiti and many others – We will not allow the Slave Holders that Still Prevail in this Country to Rule us any longer.

They need to work on their capitalization–it’s not quite random enough to reveal their full kookery.

Imprisonment and torture based on race, religion, resources or region is no different than the slavery we sought to abolish years ago. The Administration is Criminal and if they will not step down, we must storm in.

When was the last time they “stormed in” to protest any of the real torture and imprisonment based on race and religion by Middle Eastern governments? No, instead they’re going to storm the White House, in protest of a policy that has actually ended much of the imprisonment and torture under Saddam Hussein.

They hope to have allies:

We are calling on all Member Nations of the U.N.,

Even Israel?

All Representatives and Justices in the World Court and International Criminal Courts, all soldiers and CIA agents and government officials who have been blackmailed by the dictators to incarcerate Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld.

Ignoring the ambiguous grammar here (government officials were blackmailed by the dictators to incarcerate Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld? Which dictators were those? When did this happen? You’d think it would have made the news…) are they proposing to have a trial, or just incarcerate them? Or incarcerate them until trial? I’m confused.

They have a plan for a new government.

The Political Cooperative will put a new government in place that is comprised of people from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and all the organizations that have finally made us aware of the truth of the savage practices and illegal policies of our government in assassinating our own officials as well as people throughout the world who oppose their criminal activity.

Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch? In what way are they qualified to run a government? These people are amazing.

We need all of you to save U.S. citizens and Global Victims from their ongoing criminal activity. We are calling on the military, police, citizens and religious organizations to stand with us and help us to bring democracy back to the United States and by doing so, free the world from the wrath, occupation, theft, torture, blackmail and assassination by the Criminals in the United States Government.

Right. We’ll “bring democracy back” (when did it go missing, anyway?) by storming the White House, removing duly elected officials and putting unelected people from Amnesty International in their place.

What they have done all over the world is much worse than what Saddam Hussein has done, so why are they not in jail too?

Note that we’re supposed to take all of this lunacy as a given–they feel no need to explain or substantiate it in any way.

They have admitted to international and national crimes, so why have they not been taken to Court too?

Because they haven’t admitted to crime of either kind, perhaps? Is this part of what some (laughably) call the “Reality-based Community”? And seriously, isn’t this a call for insurrection? I suspect that these people could be jailed for this, particularly during war, if anyone actually took them seriously. But these types are generally harmless, being afraid of guns and all. It should be an amusing show on the Ides of March.
