Kay ****ed off Democrats and the entire Bush administration, and
you're calling him diplomatic? He ****ed everyone off because he stuck
to what he thought was the truth.


If he condemned your leader in a one-sided way, and let the Dems off the
hook, you'd say he was biased. If he's ****ing off everyone equally, he's
behaving like a scientist who understands that there are not sound
conclusions to be drawn yet. If you like, purge the word "diplomatic" from
your mind. It's getting you all hung up. Normally, that only happens to
little Dave Hall.


He admitted that he was also wrong and that he had access to all the
intelligence available (as far as he knew). He stated he was convinced
he would find something. He stated that we (the USA), the British, the
French, and the Germans, not to mention the previous administration,
all thought there were WMD to be found. "We were all wrong," was his
main theme.

He also suggested that an "outside" investigation be conducted to
determine and fix the intelligence problems. McCain (sp?) loved that,
but the administration doesn't much like the idea. I think the
administration still thinks that something may be found. Kay also
admitted that he wasn't "sure" that there was nothing to be found.

Do you suppose the investigation might last until December of 2004? Not
October of 2004?


I think an investigation would be worthwhile. But if the results
didn't show that Bush and Powell absolutely lied, then the Dems would
say the committee was unduly influenced anyway.

Some of us will say that any committee will be influenced by an unfortunate
tendency in politics to protect those who are still in power or still
living, or those who may have sad illnesses. It took a long time to find out
that Nixon was being dosed with Dilantin for quite some time. It may take a
long time to find out that some of our intelligence people are not as slick
as they're portrayed in the movies.


I hope those damn truckers weren't union folks. Why do they have to
stop at a whorehouse? Isn't that why they have queen beds and jacuzzis
in that 'motel' behind the seats?

I guess some of the truckers figure that anything is better than working, or
dealing with traffic. Some of them can't stand lumpers - crack heads who
hang around loading docks and get paid cash for helping to unload trucks.
Very common thing in the grocery biz. Not union, either. We have to make
sure truckers have green cash money ready for these guys, or they can't
unload.
