The Media and WMDs--A Perfect Love Match

Here is a quote from UN Resolution 1441 that says it all:

"Recognizing the threat Iraq's noncompliance with Council resolutions and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and long-range missiles poses to international peace and security,"

I encourage anyone who has not read the resolution to do so and then judge for themselves.




 

Screw WMDs
They are not the cause of the war,
It was Saddam's failure to abide
By UN Resolution 1441.

Why, why did he not comply
If he had nothing to hide?
Only he could decide.
Was it pride? Was it malice?
Did he not want to leave his palaces?

Screw WMDs.
Everyone thought he had them.
From President Clinton to candidate Kerry,
Emphasized by Saddam's non-compliance
With the end of the Gulf War treaty.

Why, why did he not comply
If he had nothing to hide?
Always in lies would he defy
The UN post-war sanctions
That kept out future invasions?

Screw WMDs.
They are not the point.
It is that Saddam did not abide
By the agreement his government signed.

Why does the media keep propagating
This shit about the President and WMDs?
Saddam Hussein defied the UN,
Killed innocent civilians,
And led the world to believe
He was up to no good
By not complying with the twelve-year-old terms
Of his government's defeat.

How long is too long?
How much defiance does it take?
How much violation of international law
Must one person dictate
Before justice is served?

Twelve years sounds like an awful long time
And we have no cause to serve a warrant for his arrest
But he can keep on killing and violating
As long as he lives.
So what if he pays terrorists to kill Jews--
So what if he kills thousands of Kurds,
He's not killing us.
And, all the media cares about
Is wether or not he had WMDs.
Screw the media with their WMDs--
Maybe then they'd care.

It's all very confusing to me why people (choose) not to see this as it is.
Noboby wants or likes war...but then we wouldn't like it even moreso if it showed up on our door one day. As it did on 9/11..just cause he didn't have anything to do with it that time doesn't mean he wouldn't have next time...he was that vicious..without a doubt. If he had nothing to hide why did he go out of his way to stop the inspectors every time? He was nobodys choir boy. Is that really that hard to understand?
Good write J! Lisa
