There once lived a boy by the name of john Who loved cursing and -ing and carrying on. But more than anything he had a keen fondness for Posting his daily account of the war. In particular our little johnheath liked to expound About chemical weapons and how they'd been found. Reports by shadowy witnesses named Big X Were said to better than UN inspection checks. They were here there and everywhere in that far land They were in the riverbed or under the sand. And if you ever asked " Uh, john..any proof?" The answer was always the same " You're a goof!" These reports came and went at an alarming pace, And if proven false they were soon replaced With yet another report of a guy who once told About chemical labs and their suspicious green mold. And so came a day when johnheath got the facts right; There were weapons of mass destruction within sight! But when john came to the BBS to spread the news His post got no answers and very few views. " But I have seen a wolf this time!" johnheath cried " I swear it's the truth!" he said, but no one replied. So, boys and girls, this just goes to show The difference between what you 'think' and you 'know'. Written by Anon...and yes, since you ask, I have seen WMD in Iran..er, Iraq, sorry.
LOL!! This is your best post. Of course, once again, you aren't factual, but the poem is well done. You are the King of style over substance. Go back to my posts about WMD Zoolander. I always stated that the stories I posted had yet to be proven when that was the case. Don't worry about the outcome. Just admit you were wrong about the entire scenario and move on.
Feel the love Thanks MacBeth I think we all needed a little humor, we were starting to take ourselves a little too seriously. Afterall we're all Rocket fans at heart.
This is another thread, but I thought it might fit here too. The Czech Intelligence officials must've known about JohnHeath. From the same story a Czech intelligence official seems to be talking directly to JohnHeath. "One of the most dangerous things in this business is to start believing a report simply because it fits with your preconceptions and confirms what you always wanted to believe," a Czech intelligence source told UPI. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2002/10/20/102425.shtml
I actually feel less safe now than I did before Gulf War 2 started. If the adminstration actually believes that Iraq had WMD, terrorists or individuals look for cash have had two weeks to gather them up. Also, we're letting Al Qaeda creep back into Afghanistan. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationw...27apr27,1,782187.story?coll=la-home-headlines Concern Grows Over Weapons Hunt Setbacks The search in Iraq has been stymied by disorganization and bad intelligence, officials say. The lapses may raise the threat of proliferation. By Bob Drogin, Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON -- Disorganization, delays and faulty intelligence have hampered the Pentagon-led search for Saddam Hussein's suspected weapons of mass destruction, causing growing concern about one of the most sensitive and secretive operations in postwar Iraq, according to U.S. officials and outside experts familiar with the effort . . . But the senior State Department official said the search program will prove its worth in coming months. "We have very well-trained people. They're being reinforced. They're using the best equipment in the world. We have a lot of skilled interrogators. We still believe the [weapons] program will be found. In what state it is, we'll have to wait and see." Also, this is pretty much expected about Ansar al Islam, another Powell overblown claim. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationw...27apr27,1,910893.story?coll=la-home-headlines Militants' Crude Camp Casts Doubt on U.S. Claims Ansar al Islam's bases show that the Al Qaeda surrogate posed no serious threat beyond its mountain borders, despite what Powell asserted before the war. By Jeffrey Fleishman, Times Staff Writer DAGA SHERKHAN, Iraq -- In this mountain crease beyond the orchards, a stream meanders past abandoned houses scattered with prayer caps, sunflower seeds, religious scrawling, a ski mask, spent bullet casings and the remote control for a half-finished bomb. . . . A boy standing on a muddy road with a bandaged thumb looks out from one picture. The writing on the back says the boy, an Ansar recruit, has volunteered to murder his father, a PUK official. The boy did not kill his father, but he later was arrested in a failed suicide-bombing attempt. Not only that, even though the Iraq war did not require the attention of our forces for very long, it seems like our Afghanistan effort on the terrorists has lagged behind. http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0428/p01s03-wosc.html Evidence of Al Qaeda spy ring in key Afghan roles US and Afghan forces raided Amniat offices in Khost in March. The ensuing investigation shows key papers are in Al Qaeda hands. KHOST, AFGHANISTAN – For the past year, Hazratuddin Habibi has been the intelligence chief of Khost, appointed by President Hamid Karzai to keep an eye on Taliban or Al Qaeda activities in this crucial province along the Pakistani border. Hazratuddin, a former intelligence chief for the Taliban known by his first name, was certainly qualified for the job. But colleagues in the central government's intelligence agency, Amniat, and in other military departments began to notice that raids on Taliban hideouts were coming up empty. Arrests of Al Qaeda suspects went awry. It occurred to local political leaders as well as intelligence and military officials that Hazratuddin may be a double agent . . . "We have kept most of our stuff in separate channels from the Afghan intelligence," says King. "Sometimes you share information, sometimes you don't. So it may mean that you lose some of the confirmation ability that we had, but it doesn't necessarily mean that our intelligence grid gets compromised."
