Memo from Marc

Date: May 8, 2003

I find it amusing that US national security adviser Condoleezza Rice disparaged France for taking NATO "hostage" over Iraq and for threatening smaller countries with reprisals if they backed Washington's war to oust Saddam Hussein.

What guile! Especially after America took the United Nations "hostage" and has openly threatened reprisals against France and Germany for not backing Washington's war.

It seems that there's a pattern to confuse people about the truth here. The idea is to accuse the other side of what you just did so that people are confused as to who did what. The Bush administration should write a book about advanced techniques in lying and dishonesty.

Meanwhile, I'm jealous of the Iraqis. I wish someone would liberate the United States of America from its unelected dictator.
