Another issue is whether or not our President is honest,

Were the 15 nations of the UNSC who unanimously declared Iraq in material breach of binding UN resolutions all liars too??

Do you care about whether they were being "honest"?

His cabinet seems to be made up of business people who serve the super rich elite establishment, not the constitution and the American people.

Oh come on.. Name me one President who didn't appoint millionaires to their cabinet? And given the seeming definition of "super-rich" nowadays, none of them even qualify for that title..

The war is sold to us with the "threat scenario" but it was fought for business interests, plain and simple.

That's being disingenuous Sidney... You can take any war in history and claim it was fought for "business interests"..

The French certainly opposed an invasion of Iraq out of THEIR OWN "business interests", namely receiving lucrative oil deals from Saddam. The Russians were the same way..

So when you decide to ask why both of those nations deliberately chose to support a brutal regime like Saddam's and do nearly everything possible in the UNSC to undermine attempts to make Saddam comply with binding resolutions, then I can take your assertions about Bush more seriously..
