I'm guessing it was probably a few moments after he sent that condolence message to George Bush on 9/11. You can just imagine the scene..... 'You sent what???? - who the feck pressed send?'. 'You said we'd back them for what?' etc, etc, until they all agree to sack the secretary, and prepare for war.
I have always wondered if it was one of those 'sent in error' sort of thingys. An oops moment, now should we send that one, or will we go with that one? Well, that one has got more of a soundbite, but it does commit us to going to war. Hmmm.
I think that was when age started creeping up on him, his hair grew whiter, his suits snappier and his body language became so earnest, you could almost hear his inner scream, please believe me.
However, I don't wish to be cruel, I still believe he was genuine, at the start, but think he might have been seduced by those twinkly Arabian nights.
Could of been all those lovely ancient artifacts in the Baghdad measeum Bell.. the ones that went missing in the first few days.. the ones that it is thought are part of a puzzle that gives the answer to everlasting life.. theives.. it was a disgrace the way they stole everything although I believe some were returned.. breaks my heart.. xx
ReplyDeleteI think it might be because of $$$$$
ReplyDeleteBtw I do like your blog.
Good to see you Anil, welcome. Probably the money, but money will never salve a guilty conscience.
