On a related note, can somebody refresh my memory - did we kill Saddam or not? I had heard that we might have, but then didn't hear the resolution of that. I notice that the media has largely stopped talking about him, though.

If I thought for a damn minute that Bush's heart was literally bleeding for the poor, oppressed Iraqi people, then I'd be in support of the war. But Bush's heart bleeds for nobody but his rich pals. Now while it is possible to do the right thing for the wrong reasons, that's a dangerous path. It generally leads to doing the wrong thing for the wrong reasons.
Bush started a war as a big present to Halliburton et al. and justified it with made-up "intelligence". The fact that it may have worked out for some of the Iraqi people (you know, besides the ones we killed) doesn't make it right. If Bush can start a war for corporate interest, what else do you think he's capable of? Next time the results may not be good for anybody but his cronies.
Bush can start by opening those Cheney Energy Panel records, the way republicans sued to have Clinton's Health Panel records opened.

It is so FAR from being a rational and logical reply, it is not worth my time to responed to any further than
this.
Why, because I don't agree with you? Well, that's fine, old-timer. Talk to yourself then if you can't handle reasoned disagreement. In the meantime you might ask yourself: if Bush will start a war to appease his war-profiteering corporate buddies, what else will he do for them?

Yeah, and see, me, I would have finished one war before launching another. But hey, I guess that's why I'm not the President.
