I am awfully sick of writing about the war in Iraq. I hope you are not sick of reading about it. Bob Geiger has an excellent piece up that examines the pre-war intelligence. It turned my stomach.

It must be all that second hand smoke from the guns.
Impeach them already.
…..added to all the other pieces of evidence that is out there that this administration is guilty of and still running free, is blowing, not only your mind, but that of many in America. Just take a gander at his polls!
I think by now there is enough evidence to take out everyone in this lineup and get them jailed for treason. My question is when is this gonna happen? What are they waiting on?—-Christmas and more deaths! I do not trust politicians until they prove their worth. As of yet, they haven’t proven to me anything but pure bulls**t!
Until they start acting on the evidence they have and stop showboating, I still do not trust any of them. Plain and simple. They are all are beholding to some company and/or $$$ holding institution in one way or the other. It does seem they are not for the people anymore. I just never thought I would be alive to see this happen in my lifetime of that my/our America would ever become something such as this.
What a sobering wake-up call for us all!
I’m sick of another subject.
The DUH moment here is of course that if the good General’s sage analysis had been taken seriously and/or the Intel reports had not been filed in the round file, then any fool would conclude that we would need to engage a true coallition; initiate a draft; allow the inspectors to complete their task all of which would mean Dick & George couldn’t have their war. The manpower was never there and the will was nothing more than hyped instant gratification borne by men who have never known the abject horror of war.
So when do we ask the big question, i.e., who would benefit from the destabilization of the Middle East? The Military Industrial Complex, of course. They stood to rake in billions of dollars.
I don’t think this invasion had anything to do with stupidity or wishful thinking; it was always about having a pretext to loot the treasury. Having an unstable Middle East meant lots an lots of new defense spending. In fact, everything this administration has done can be related back to this thesis.
Follow the money.
