So Many Questions, So Few Answers

So Many Questions, So Few Answers

Long before and long after little Billy asked, “Why’s the sky blue, daddy?” a question to which I still don’t know the answer, important and inconsequential questions have been posed, sometimes answered with platitudes or misrepresentations or lies and sometimes parried–like the blue sky query.

Though I may be wrong, and I have been wrong once or twice over the course of my many years, never in the history of mankind, or in the history of our Republic, well, in my history, have so many serious questions gone unanswered whether because no one knows the answers, because some people do know and prefer not to share their wisdom, or because the questions are unanswerable.

Without categorizing the questions in any of those 3 classifications in which they sometimes overlap, I offer these head-scratchers in the hope that someone, somewhere, has the answers:

. Why did our leaders announce the “treasure trove” of information on Al-Qaeda and OBL’s contacts and machinations gleaned from the raid on Abbottabad? If the announcements were intended to satisfy the American public with the revelation that the mission was fully accomplished or, more likely, to spike our president’s ball and garner him votes next year, did any of our leaders consider they were also alerting the enemy that we knew who they are and where they may be hiding?

. Why did our VP Oaf in Chief spill the beans on which of our special forces conducted that raid, information which until then was classified? Okay, that was primarily due to Biden’s idiocy and oafishness but in light of news Islamic Osama-lovers have now targeted those Navy SEALs, and possibly their families, who will be held responsible if Muslim fruitcakes succeed?

. Why was a socialist with a girl’s name, Frenchman Domique Strauss-Kahn, the head of the IMF, why wasn’t he dumped after repeated instances of sexual improprieties, why was he staying in a $3,000 a night room at the Sofitel when the standard IMF stipend is $386 per, why was he being paid $500,000 a year tax free, and why is the inept former British PM Gordon Brown in the running to replace him?

. Why are Pakistan and India, where shoes and a decent meal are luxuries for the rabble, nuclear powers spending billions to join and continue in that exclusive club? Shouldn’t head Pakistani and Indian honchos be more concerned with clothing and feeding their people than with blowing up their neighbors and, in the Paki case, why were they unaware OBL was in residence for years? . . .
