Intelligence? Really?

They need to come up with another word for what they call "intelligence". I know it's a sore subject when you start talking politics, but consider these news items:

1). 8.7 Billion dollars is missing from the Iraq War deal. This money was lost sometime between 2004 and 2007. There really is no explanation for it. The Pentagon doesn't know. The former president doesn't know. The current president doesn't know.

Also consider that $8.7 billion doesn't just fall out of your pocket and into the couch cushion when you sit down. That is a missing warehouse of money. It is money that was begged for by the previous administration as essential to fighting 'them over there so we didn't have to fight them over here'.

And we lost the money?????? Doesn't that frost your ass?

2). Speaking of which about 90,000 classified documents became de-classified in regard to the Afghanistan war. Now everyone knows what was supposed to be top-secret.

Who's running the show? Maxwell Smart?

3). Haven't had enough yet? The British Prime Minister was talking about Iraq as well. He said that the "intelligence" was wrong because they were listening to Iraqi defectors and put too much stock into the "intelligence" of these low-life scumbags who wanted to start a fight anyway.

Ah, Iraq. I'd love to never hear that word again.

4). And let's not forget the geniuses that are putting the oil leak mess behind us. Thank God they aren't around here when the basement floods. We'd all be doing the doggy-paddle by now.

I know it's not a simple problem, but come on, already. Didn't someone amongst us pass science class?

The genius in my high school class would've come up with something that worked by now.

I don't mean to rant so often these days, but when you listen to a television commentator mention "intelligence" and "counter-intelligence", and the "brilliant minds", and "wartime geniuses", you just have to wonder.

$8.7 billion dollars is missing!

I may not be as bright as all the intelligent guys out there, but if you gave me that sort of cabbage, I could figure out where it went.

What a mess. And we're all sitting around watching reality shows and placing our blind faith in the hands of morons.

As my buddy Abe Lincoln once said:

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
