Watching this back to back war coverage is sorta tiring. I’m getting sick of it. Over analysis. Rescripting and restating the obvious. Newsmen in gasmasks. Kids, turn off the TV or just change the channel.
This whole Iraq War is something out of Quantum Leap. If you knew something bad could be prevented, wouldn’t you do anything to prevent it from happening? Maybe Bush does know something we don’t know. Maybe that’s why it is so urgent to take Saddam out. The world doesn’t understand that. Colonization? Nope. Protecting our interests. And plenty of Iraqis feel as though Saddam is a bad man whom they would like to get rid of also. So its against international protocol. September 11th was against international protocol too.
I recently found that I HATE video phones. Seeing these grainy images all over my TV screen courtesy of these phones is worse than having no images at all. I’d rather have a map of Iraq and a picture of Geraldo than seeing this poor excuse for a slow internet connection. Sure, you can transport them in and out of remote areas easily. But the output sucks. Just plain sucks.
You know, during the 1991 Gulf War, I don’t recall hearing about soldiers getting right with God before going on the battlefield. But right before this war, soldiers are getting baptized. Maybe its a whole new world. Maybe there’s a greater chance of getting killed out there.
