Some of those nitwits needed to review “the intelligence cycle.”

Aside from piss poor strategy over all, those folks are just plain being less than truthful.

Just how stupid do they (the Bush administration) think we are? As noted as a very real possibility by the finest Intel organization that exist, MOSSAD, Saddam was pretending to have WMD’s to hold Iran at bay. Saddam confirmed that to his interrogator just prior to his neck stretching session.

Now we are basically stuck in a place that we broke and need to fix as a moral obligation. Was Saddam and crew evil? Absolutely. Did they need to go? Of course. Was it our business to take care of that little bit of business? Perhaps, but not in my opinion, at least not in the manner chosen by President Bush.

Iraqi oil? Hell yes, they can pay for getting rid of Saddam and the Bathist Party. Market it not only to the U.S. But to the whole damned world at half the OPEC rate. Talk about screwing the speculators …

Yeah, Bush “knowing’ and Clinton concurring, hell yeah, that all the proof we needed to go to war…

And Iraq selling us oil at a discount?? Try FREE until every dollar we have spent in that God forsaken shithole is replaced…

“…it is my firm belief that Bush KNEW they were faulty and deliberately disregarded them in favor of the advice from commanders that were kissing his ass and telling him what he wanted to hear in hopes of securing another star…”I figure that Bush believed that Saddam had nukes or was at least trying to develop them..hell, even Bill Clinton is on record sayin’ as much and the European allies..such as they are..also believed. Later intelligence reports indicate that Saddam wanted the world to believe that he did have the WMDs..it was his way of staying in power.I don’t like the way the war was fought..although it appears now that it is being won and there may be a chance that Iraq will emerge as a somewhat representative democracy..but always keep in mind that what we in the USA consider freedom is a far thought from what the Islamic mentality sees as freedom.In any event I have several bitches about the way Bush handled Iraq…and I my main bitch now is that with the price of oil being what it is the Iraqi government should be paying the expenses for this war..or at least sell the USA the crude at a discount.Being one who has always believed in the adage “to the victors belongs the spoils” I figure what the USA should do is just take over the gotdamn oil fields in Iraq and produce them. Some reports that I have read claim that the production capability is maybe triple over what is now being produced. Bring that crude oil on line and forcing congress to allow the pol companies to drill for domestic oil and build new refineries might just keep the energy prices near static for a couple of decades..

I just got home from spending a week outside of Houston on a location project and I can say this.No one that I met in this town cares for Bush, I was surprised. They also don’t care for Obama, Clinton or McCain.This was the Heart of America and it seems that, “None of the above” was their choice and I’m going to have to agree.
