The Axis of Feeble meets Axis of Weasels.
·
    We first learned the names of the Axis of Evil:  
    Iraq and Iran and, of course, North Korea,
    and then New York's Post                                  ·
    by headlines did toast                                         ·
    the Germans and French as the Axis of Weasels.

    Mandella, who once seemed to understand "evil,"
    has now taken sides with the Axis of Evil
    by claiming it's wrong
    to pick on Saddam
    and labeling Bush and America "evil."

    He claims we would never attack
    that "peace-loving" boss of Iraq
    despite the confections
    of UN objections
    if Annan were "white" 'stead of "black."    

    But why for Saddam is he willing to wheedle?
    Perhaps the hot sun makes his gray-matter febrile
    or maybe his age
    has entered the stage
    to make him the head of the Axis of Feeble.·
·
·
Inspired by news reports that Nelson Mandella said, "If there's a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities int he world, it is the United States of America."  He also characterized Bush as "a president who has no foresight, who cannot think properly, and is now wanting to plunge the world into a holocaust" and claimed Bush and Blair are willing to "undermine" the UN because it's leader, Kofi Annan, "is a black man."  --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.·

From Rumsfeld, italics and bold: "The views of the French are too 'old.' "
·
    Don Rumsfeld's both somber and droll
    and speaks both italics and bold.
    Regarding the wrench
    thrown in by the French,
    he said that as "leaders" of Europe, they're "old."

    "Dismount your high horse," the French gasped,
    describing his comments as crass.
    He should've replied,
    "I'll promptly comply
    as soon as you get off your ass."·
·
·
Inspired by news reports that the French were offended when Rumsfeld, responding to a news question about the extent of his concern that France's opposition to the US strategy regarding Iraq manifested "European" opposition, replied that he was less concerned about the position of "old Europe" than that of the "new" Europe-- i.e., other Western European countries which, like the Eastern European countries that recently joined NATO, recognize the need to disarm Iraq.  --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.·

Connections of dots on our fate are better too soon than too late.
·
    Though critics say: "Threats must be imminent
    before plans for war we should implement,"
    Demands for perfection
    in timing protection
    lead not to success but impediments.

    Though critics in Nine-One-One's wake
    said "Dots were connected too late,"
    they're quick to forget
    in countering threats,
    it's better too soon than too late.

    If experts on dots had blown whistles
    on plans to ship Soviet missiles
    to Castro before
    they reached Cuba's shore,
    would Jack have awaited installment of missiles?·
·
·
Inspired by Ted Kennedy's naive comments in response to Bush's State of the Union speech last night.  Kennedy's demands for proof of the "imminence" of a direct threat to our country from Iraq as necessary for justifying use of force to disarm Iraq are in sharp contrast to what JFK would have done had he learned of Soviet plans to ship missiles to Cuba before any such missiles arrived-- He wouldn't have awaited installation of the missiles before using the military to prevent their delivery, in which case Adlai Stevenson would have been unable to show the famous missile-site photographs to the United Nations as "smoking gun" evidence of the imminence of such threat. --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.·

Advice from the French who play on the bench.
·
    The French have predictably chimed:  
    "We need for inspections more time."
    They're right when they plead,
    "Inspectors proceed,"
    but wrong about whom to assign.

    With numbers the French are too thrifty--
    Instead of a hundred and fifty
    inspectors assigned
    for weapons to find,
    with more, the inspections could end in a jiffy.

    A mere hundred-fifty is clearly absurd
    except to depend on Saddam Hussein's word.
    To find his misdeeds,
    we plainly would need
    to increase their number by ten to the third.

    And what is the other advice we should heed?
    To make those inspections effective we'd need
    inspectors we've schooled
    to use the best tools
    and need to be certain they're armed to the teeth.

    And what's the right name to assign
    to teams that would fit this design?
    The best name, of course?
    The name of the force
    that Rumsfeld for Bush has designed !
·
·
Inspired by the French arguments today that the UN should give the inspectors a lot more time to continue searching for smoking guns in Iraq.  I agree we need more inspectors, but since the current inspection team is woefully inadequate to the task, it should be increased in size by a factor of ten to the third (i.e., 150,000) and equipped with all the tools needed to effectively discover, expose and destroy Saddam Hussein's WMD programs-- i.e., the new "inspection" team should be the military operation designed by Rumsfeld. --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.·

Belated correction defining unspection.·
·
    Blixeau fin'lly stated corrections
    to rightly describe the complexion
    of work by his team:  
    It only could be
    correctly defined as unspections.

·
Inspired by listening to public portion of the report to the UN Security Council today by Hans Blix aka Inspector Blixeau conceding, in essence, that Iraq had failed to comply with the Council's resolution requiring Iraq to cure its noncompliance and furnish proof of doing so.  Afterward, Powell put it best by saying the question is not how much longer should the inspectors search in the dark but how much longer should we wait for Saddam Hussein to turn on the light.  --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.

Now Susan McDougal's emoting to market her book she's promoting.·
·
    Now Susan McDougal's emoting
    to market her book she's promoting
    purporting to show
    the reason she chose
    the Fifth as her right for invoking.

    When questioned on why she was pardoned
    by Bubba her answer was ardent:  
    "'T'was justice he chose,"
    but PoliSat knows
    why Bubba gave Susan a pardon: 

    "Since Susan McDougal Earned fame
    by learning to walk in those chains
    as I walked around
    with trousers pulled down,
    I surely must pardon that dame.

    But Hubbell, who never wore chains,
    and often showed feelings of shame,
    will not get a pardon--
    to use prison jargon,
    I'll let him roll over again.
"

Clinton Liebrary Book 2001 Edition.  For a review of the book, go here; to order the book, go here.  To visit the Clinton Liebrary, go here.  --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.·

Was Ritter attempting inspections of underage gals for connections?·

    Said Ritter, while clenching his jaw,
    "I'm always supporting the law,
    like orders to hide
    the charge that I tried
    seducing a female protected by law." * ··
·
Inspired by a news report quoting Scott Ritter's characterization of his denial of charges that he attempted to establish a relationship with an underage female.  According to the report, the charges were dismissed and then expunged per a plea agreement conditioned on no similar incident occurring for six months.  Ritter's statement touted his initial denial of the charges as constituting his compliance with "the law" in the form of the expungment order. [*Red quotation marks denote my paraphrasing of quotations attributed to Ritter.]--Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.·

Beware the cachet of "scientists say."·
·
    What "scientists" find "in the round"
    do not comprise science that's sound--
    especially when
    the "findings" befriend
    conclusions desired to be found.

    The method they call "in the round"
    is simply how hunches are found,
    and such incantations
    are mere divinations
    when contrary theories abound.

    Reports of what "scientists say"
    to readers conveys the cachet 
    of objective truth
    not hunches unloosed
    by folks with a point to convey.

    A perfect example is found
    of hunches divined "in the round": 
    That "wildlife is warning
    the climate is warming" *                            *
[Red quotation marks denote paraphrasing]·
    implied as what science has "found." 

    Reporting such hunches as science
    induces the public's reliance
    on hunches disguised
    as science, comprised
    instead of politicized science.

Inspired by a news report that an article in Nature reveals that "scientists" have found "evidence" that "climate change is affecting living systems, as climatologists have predicted."  The report asserts that "[w]ildlife seek cooler climes" and that "[s]pecies are on the move, say scientists."  Trained scientists, unlike laymen and unlike most "science" reporters, readily understand the distinction between findings and hunches.  If such article were to have been about scientists employing the same type of methodology to "say" the currently politically correct "predictions" of "climatologists" are wrong, the news report would have characterized what such scientists said as "controversial" rather than merely as what "scientists say."  Since "in the round" methodology serves as a basis for forming hypotheses when conflicting ones abound, reliance on such methodology as the foundation for public policy would require such policy to simultaneously proceed on contradictory assumptions and in contradictory directions absent arbitrary selection of a single hypothesis.  Policy based on arbitrary selection of one among many such conflicting hypotheses is founded not on science but on political science-- i.e., politicized science. --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com
