amezriWoke up really early this morning. Have to shower, get dressed, and get my new keychain drive from the Union. Eee! In more somber news, the invasion of Iraq goes on. Surprisingly, only 16 Iraqi civilians have died - well, that's the released number. Since the US has an even tighter reign on the media than it did during the last Gulf War, it's hard to know what the real count is.
Here's my question: If Saddam had weapons of mass destruction and bio weapons and all that other stuff that he claimed to have, don't you think maybe he'd at least start using some of that stuff? Especially bio-weapons on our troops.
I've also heard that to speak out against the war during war time is an act of sedition under the Patriot Act and can result in arrest, indefinite detention, a secret trial before a military tribunal, and execution (though I could be confusing two seperate things). How fun. Hey, can we arrange to have that done before my test next week?
If war comes over here, I say fuck it. I'm just going to hope that a weapon lands right on top of me so I won't have to deal with it.
Info Links:
+ Thermobaric weapon being designed in New Jersey (oddly remeniscent of the Rambaldi device in "Firebomb")
+ Hmm.. What to call this invasion? "Operation Wag the Dog"?
+ Blix Criticisez US impatience
+ War draws condemnation (even the Chinese say the US violated International Law)
+ Iraq fires missles after U.S. targets Saddam
Okay, I'm done with this. Off to get ready for my day.
