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

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

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

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

·
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

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."
·
Inspired by McDougal's appearance on several news-channel programs this weekend
to tout her book purporting to explain her reasons for silence. The italicized
stanzas are from the Clinton

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.
