Fan, Meet Shit

So much for waiting a couple of years for Saddam to forget.

At least we have major Arab leaders, like Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, saying that Iraq is “fully responsible for the current crisis.” Not that that statement doesn’t completely ignore the fact that Dubya is going to war without a declaration by Congress, but it’s nice to know not everyone in the Middle East completely blames us. Even if it really is our fault.

Of course, Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz saw things a bit differently; he was quoted as saying “[The US government] have power but no brains.” I never thought I’d agree with anything he said, but this is the first reasonable statement I’ve heard out of anyone in the Iraqi government ever. Now why doesn’t anyone with the power to stop this business realise that?

By the way, thanks a lot for making CBS show war coverage instead of CSI. And you folks might want to have a gander at ESPN’s take on what Dan Rather was thinking last week when he interviewed Saddam. I like option D.

Once again, the Onion pretty much summed up my feelings about this whole giant mess. They were only three days off on the release date, too ;)
