The Final Round of ILoveBees

Ensign Trolltalk writes "The Alternate Reality Game ilovebees (previously covered here and here) has entered its endgame, with the presumably final round of telephone calls taking place Sunday October 31st. Anyone wishing to get involved before it's over should check out the latest axon list (available here in more human-readable format with GPS coordinates, city, state, call time, and links to maps) and be prepared for anything. On Thursday November 4th, live "Combat Training Exercises" will be held in New York, Chicago, Austin, and San Francisco. It's believed that attendees will get to see and play Halo 2 before the game's official release. See the 404 page for details on these events."

the warez kiddies already play halo2 it would seem

actually i have no interest in playing halo2 (when microsoft bought bungie i pretty much gave up any hope for the first halo being what it was intended to be,that isnt to say it isnt any good, it might be, but it isnt what was intended) but i would attempt to complete this puzzle if i lived near any of those cities.

Uh... how does that pdf in your signature justify the war in Iraq, when the war in Iraq was based on the baseless charges that he was in possession of or was actively attempting to gain posession of weapons of mass destructions that would be used against the United States? That report doesn't justify those claims even by the most ridiculous stretch of the imagination. There is never one bit of evidence provided for the series of claims in the firt part. The closest thing to evidence that is provided is the statement that the report is based on "interviews with former regime officials".

In fact, your little linky dink there explicitly states several different times that Hussein was in compliance with many of the various sanctions. It only alludes to non-compliance in some places, and likely never comes right out and says that Hussein had any of the banned weapons because it never begins to offer any evidence that those claims would be accurate.

On top of that, it explicitly states that after 1991, "Iraq's ability to reconstitute a nuclear program progressively decayed". The only "damning evidence" is in reference to chemical weapons and it's preceded by "probably".

The most this report could possibly justify is forceful reintroduction of the inspection teams, and since Bush decided he'd rather play Rambo than president, I'd say this report is proof of Bush's extreme negligence and acutely dangerous incompetence. To state that this is justification for a full scale invasion is a plain, flat out lie.
