0569 - Off

So we’ve been in the middle of what is called the “Debate” Season, and there’s a lot of guff being shoveled around. We’d like to explain that on Anguilla, the phrase is “Off Island” when you aren’t here. In Debate Season, the danger the candidates see is being “Off Message”. Our Staff is clear that we alone have been On Message since the ill-fated and mis-managed invasion of Iraq. We pointed out early and often that the unrestricted UN inspectors, chasing tips from U.S. “Intelligence’, had found absolutely no Weapons of Mass Destruction, and little else except vulgar Saddam palaces. Now, the final report is in, and the conclusive finding is that there were no WMDs at all, and no capacity to make them, either. One fascinating detail in the final report is the explanation why Saddam was so given to concealments when he had nothing to conceal. The answer is, he was much more concerned with frightening Iran than he was with the U.S. – remember the long, bloody, Iraq-Iran war? [The U.S. was on the Iraq side.]
