The New York Times > Washington > Intelligence Evidence: Rice Defends Going to War Despite Dispute About Iraqi Weapons

i just don't understand what would make the american people believe that we went to iraq because of weapons or because they were a threat to the united states. and if they didn't believe that before the war, they should have realized that when the millitary crumbled the way that it did. i mean, wasn't that a fucking hint?

but people follow dubya like they are fucking lemings.

the truth is that i don't always know what i believe. i am not sure what drove the mission into iraq. there are so many plausible movites. but none of them could be that iraq could have ever hurt us.

i was convinced from day one that it had something to do with religion. and then, after taking that history of the middle east class, i started to wonder if it wasn't all more geopolitically motivated. and even still, how much of it is just good old fashioned backwoods texas justice?

now i kind of think that it's a mix of all three. when i see condi saying shit like this, i think that it has to be geopolitical. she doesn't seem like a zealot. she certainly shouldn't be supporting any sort of backwoods justice. and she is all about the geopolitics. i am still convinced that she wants the united states to take over the world. and, of course, i am still convinced that is exactly what we are doing.

iraq matters a lot on a geopolitcal level because we want to have a large arabic "democracy" in the center of the middle east. but it's more in the underlying beliefs. it's easy for me to think that rice and cheney are motivated by the oil and the land needed to access the persian gulf and ship out the natural gas.

but i have a hard time looking over the coincidence that this is all happening in the holy land. and those really stupid things that the really stupid president says in reference to god. and then the christians. man, the fucking christians.

and then you look at sadam making the attempt on dubya's father's life. oh ... it's all so pathetic. and i find a hard time taking it seriously.

maybe the united states should just take over the rest of the world. maybe if we did force everyone into "democracy" they would all be a little bit hapier. i know that i would. and being an american, i know that is all that really matters.
