Soren’s Geek Test

by

OK, so Soren is this guy I work with. Probably the geekiest person I know. I discovered today that he created a geek test some years back. I had fun taking the test. Score a 42 which is pretty good considering that I’m not really much of a geek. Give it a go. See what … Read more

Team Building

I am glad to see the United States still making an effort to get UN backing before using force to disarm Iraq. I believe that if the United States abandons the effort and goes to war leading a “coalition of the willing” significant damage will be done to the reputation and prestige of the United … Read more

The Road to Baghdad

The UN & its Security Counsel So, we have Security Council members France and Russia saying they will veto any resolution that contains either an ultimatum or a use of force trigger. There are very few who would argue against the notion that Saddam Hussein’s current efforts to comply with UN resolution 1441 are due … Read more

So, how’s that again?

All American troops go home, President Bush drives the nails into Mary Grierson’s wrists and ankles, hangs her on a cross and then Saddam Hussein will no longer have weapons of mass destruction. How’sat work??? Aloha

Powell Says Saddam Trying to Divide U.N. “Iraq’s too-little, too-late gestures are meant not just to deceive and delay action by the international community, he has as one of his major goals to divide the international community, to split us into arguing factions. That effort must fail,” Powell said. Yes Mr. Powell, I agree that … Read more

And the Fiddler Plays On

by

Hussein’s every public move is calculated for its affect on the world community for delaying the US effort to enforce the UN resolutions by use of military force. It seems clear that Saddam Hussein has no intention of complying with the UN resolutions.
