I'm glad you brought that up. Since right after the attack on 9/11/01 it was `supposedly' common knowledge that Iraq had `weapons of mass destruction'. When none were actually found, only a few obsolete technology\types that weren't even operational.....I began to look back through the `sources' of all this `Irag's weapons of mass destruction' stuff. And I began to strongly suspect that the whole thing was pumped up by certain operatives in various federal agencies to embarass a republican president (GW Bush). Although Hussein had used various chemical weapons in the past, these `powerful weapons of mass destruction' didn't exist. It was a sham! For once (maybe the only time in his long career) Saddam Hussein was telling the tuth; he DIDN'T have any `weapons of mass destruction'! I didn't coin the title `deep state'. But I've strongly suspected for many many years that there existed in the federal government (and in most state governments), a group of people who have been ther a long time....have great experience with `running' things....and don't actually do what politicians `want' so much as they do what they think politicians `need'! Even when I was a young man I noticed how a person would get elected on a promise to get a certain something `done'....only what they tried to change had to (mysteriously) go through endless `stages' or ....`these things take time'...delay after delay....then the next election a different party comes into office....and nothing happened all along! No change was ever made. And that goes in local, county, state, federal....you name it. The `deep state' runs things on many levels. Trump's only got 4 years (8 if he's re-elected)... He ain't gonna change anything. Maby a few things here and there....but overall the `deep state will be there long after Trump and all the good he did to Make America Great Again are repealed, reversed, and forgotten. WD>The USA has no business being there in the first place. We had a vested interest in `being there'! The sorry-ass deomcrats tied us up so tight with regulations we only had that part of the world as a source of oil. The sorry-ass, pig-shit-eating Islamics were murdering Americans for many years, and finally pulled of an attack that murdered around 4000 people in four stages on the same day! Actually, that part of the world is damn lucky the right person wasn't president then. It should have been handled far differently. --- *Durango b301 #PE* * Origin: Fido Since 1991 | QWK by Web | BBS.FIDOSYSOP.ORG (1:123/140) .
