I read a disheartening article saying that the Bushie Administration was "justified" in creating propaganda to start a was (on MSNBC, nonetheless) ... their logic was that ALL wars gather support through propaganda. It's complete idiotic to use this logic ... Bush snorted coke - should I? Clinton was an adulter - should I be? No, of course not ... it's so sickening to me that American Politicians are NOT held accountable for their crimes. Bush and his cronies flat out forged documents & lied to the American Public to "justify" the war - this should be considered what it is - FRAUD & MURDER ... I would love to see all of these war *****r Nazi's tried & convicted for their war crimes.
It's time we HOLD our "elected" officials accountable for their actions.

I'm glad you asked, General. I know it's a suprise, but I have been known to dabble a bit in political debates regarding foreign policy a bit in my day.

The post that launched a thousand flames. Who knew you could make a 'Subject' line so frickin long?
Independent: "So Where Are They, Mr. Blair?"
One of Britain's first major public inquiries into the matter of the elusive WMD. (bear in mind, that was now three months ago and still not the first shread of evidence has been found ...)

Boys Will Be Boys and Other Iraqi Foibles
Abuse of POWs for fun and sport, Blair does some more WMD squirming, and Bremer decides that his previous postponement of democracy was pretty fun, so he does it again.
Wolfowitz' Amazingly Big Mouth and Other Iraqi Foibles
The slip of the tongue that got the Bush administration suddenly talking about a lot of other really good reasons to be in Iraq, aside from WMD's, and how a good American is one who udnerstands that sometimes mommies and daddies and presidents have to be less than truthful in order to spare our feelings.

President Bush Signs XO to Protect Our 51st State, Iraq
President Doo-Dah signs an order negating more than $ 120 billion in Iraqi oil-backed debt, then turns around and announces plans to incur $ 30 billion (which is Republicanian for "God only knows how much this shit is going to cost") in debt secured by Iraqi oil. There goes our relationship with Russia for the next few years, who can barely pay her own bills and lost billions because of Bush's decision.

Well, that's about it -- like I said, I don't really follow politics.

99.99% of the US soldiers are alive and well. Does anyone remember what happened to the USSR when they went into Afghanistan and they are neighbors? Put what's going on in Iraq in proper perspective. So far this has been a huge success.
The whole this is another Vietnam is a media created LIE, don't fall for it. More soldiers died by accident last year in the US military than have died in Iraq. There's a serious problem when some are so-called more concerned with the death of soldiers fighting a war then the murder of 3000+ US civilians. I was in the military and my heart goes out to the soldiers lost, however, we know as soldiers during war soldiers die. On the other hand civilains do not expect to be slaughtered at work. For the ones that will argue Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11, maybe they did maybe they didn't. Iraq was the head of the snake and had to be dealt with now before they acquired NUKES. Please don't say that Saddam wasn't trying to get NUKES, because that's BS. Israel bombed his NUKE plant in the 80's and we bombed it in 91. Saddam would have bought one if he couldn't build it.
I believe we had to go to war to cut the head of the snake. Iraq was the strongest military in the region. This put Saudia Arabia, Iran and Syria on notice as to how easy it would be to knock them out of power.
If we left Iraq now the whiny liberals would cry and say we left Iraq a mess and blah, blah blah. So we have to do the best we can with a difficult situation.
DO NOT GO WEAK KNEED ON US NOW IT WILL ONLY HURT OUR TROOPS.

Well stated outandup!
The libs will find fault with anything this administration does. They know it, we know it. So we just have to go along and do what needs to be done and let the libs dig their grave. Its more about trying to play gotcha with this president to them while all along playing the political games they play focusing mainly on racism, the separation of church and state, abortion, and class warfare. With class warfare being the subject the like to focus on the most to split this country apart.
Gotta get to work now - joints to pleasure.

When I was in SK years ago, I got the genuine impression that the US was appreciated by many Koreans.
Many arabs used to have no particular problems with the west.
Iraq is a situation where everyone seems to be a loser.
My opinion is, rebuild the infrastructure and get the heck out of there.
The place looks like it will end up like lebanon.
