Off to Sitges tomorrow - Anger Still Burns

Beautiful weather in London and we are now packed and ready to go to Catalonia for the week. The joys have having a full bank account and regular work. It wasn't always like this for me and Heather. My mate Chris e-mailed me saying how angry he was about the shcoking mess that we had managed to create in Iraq. And he is one of the least anti-war of my friends. In truth Chris has always been a man of "small c" conservative instincts. Basically he has never trusted Blair and thinks he is a fraud. He loves the States but finds Rumsfelt a bit scary. Apparently Kissinger called him "the most ruthless man I have ever met". He made a nice comment that as things go the USA would be happy to find an Iraqi athlete who trested positive for EPO such is the lack of any smoking gun evidecne. So I e-mailed him back my resume so far. Stealing the words of an Arizona congressman I will say that I will keep my words sweet becuase I may have to eat them later.

War Resume

Untidiness ( pace Rumsfelt) post war - They don't give a toss. They assumed this would be glossed over because they had won this moumental struggle for freedom. Eeeerrrr about as one sided as a match between Brian Sewell [ American Translation: very high camp art critic in his 60s ]and Mike Tyson in his prime. We were not impressed although the Britsh Army did a fine job. But people are starting to ask questions and they just cannot spin it. It is a shocking mess and handing out a few ready meals and calling it humanitarian aid is fooling no-one.

Decor - Wierd how we were meant to think it had all been worthwhile because Saddam had lots of awful palaces whilst his people starved. That applies to scores of dictatorships. Our royal family lives in a semi in Chingford of course

Post War Regime - Guy that Pentagon hawks favour last lived in Iraq in the 60s (pre Sadders) and is under suspicion of an international banking fraud. Here we go again.

Blair - Bring back Thatcher. Stalin. Anyone but Blair. I most hate him when he does the exasperated look favoured by bad headmasters "Now look 4C you are not really getting this are you? Iraq has been liberated and you are meant to be cheering" Tony. message from Paul Bower. I left school 30 years ago...P*** off. But the rest of the people in the cabinet are worse, weaklings. Just a shower. The best people are on the back benchers in all major parties. Also Blair has been broadcasting a message on TV Free Iraq assuring them this is not an occupation and they would be free to choose thier own government. Deluded or what? If I were an Iraqi doctor or lecturer watching this tosh I would be thinking "You arrogant xxxx. Who are you anyway? Bush's oily rag. And as it your opinion counts anyway."

Bush - I think he is a bit mad. They are keeping him away from the cameras. I am not sure he knows what is going on. Latest gaffe was saying that it will "take time for chaos and order to be restored...I mean" He also said that the civil unrest was the prodcut of a people who are free at last. Jeeeez the Revolutionary Communist Party should have had him as a spokesman during the Brixton riots. What a load of bollocks. I also reckon the polls are not as good as he had hoped they would be. Massive job losses in the Mid West and the spectre of going the same way as his dad. His dad was much better.

Weapons - Lets be frank. If they had any they neither had the will not the delivery mechanisms to use them them. It was a scam. Saddam was an Idi not an Adolph. Real Madrid's Ultra Sur firm are a bigger threat to the peace in London.

Continual War - We just all need to re-read 1984. We have always been at War with Eurasia / Syria / Russia. War is Peace. Ignorance is Strength.

Resume - An evil dictator has been deposed. Around 4,000 people are dead. Kids are bleeding to death in Basra hospitals for lack of drugs and dying from infections. Some of the worlds greatest treasures have been destroyed or stolen. A country is broken as armed gangs roam the streets and the occupying forces deny any responsibility or duty of care. Wasn't there a better way of doing this? No...because none of the other options would have helped George win the next election.
