camwynmix Disney music and politics in the car on the way to work...
[Bush I:] We're not safe until he's dead
[Cheney:] He'll come stalking us at night
[Fleischer:] Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite
[Ashcroft:] He'll wreak havoc on our country if we let him wander free
[Dubya:] So it's time to take some action, boys
It's time to follow me
Come on! Tell me the villagers' bits of the Mob song don't form an almost perfect description of the current war hysteria coming out of Washington! Especially this bit:
[Mob:] Raise the flag
Sing the song
Here we come, we're fifty strong
And fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong
Let's kill the Beast!
Frankly, Gaston presented more evidence that there was a threat to the village than we're getting out of Dubya. (Look! Claws! Fangs! You can't tell me something with that many pointy bits that walks on two legs is natural!) Kennedy published the photographs of the Cuban missiles, despite the fact that this invalidated any strategic advantage they may have given him. Where are our photographs, Mr. Bush?
*mutter*
I think I liked it better when it was just contamination from Hong Kong action movies cross-pollinating with Disney.

Date: 2002-10-10 08:09 am (UTC)1) There are none to take. Iraq is not quite the danger Bubya and company say he is, but want this war too badly to let facts stop them.
2) There is plenty to take photos of, but our intelligence gathering is a mess. But of course no one can admit this out loud, not if we expect them to be part of the war effort.
There is a third but less likely possibility:
The photos exist but must be keep SECRET. If Dubya really has that kind of evidence but cannot share it with the American people now of all times, when it would gain massive support for a war, then maybe he really is that dangerous.
Well, it's irrelevant anyway since I think maybe three people in the Senate are willing to actually call Dubya on his push for super-powers anyway. Thank god for Senator Byrd.
