>>>Pretty good. Your post inspired the whacko fringe to reply. Anything that G-ZeroZero agrees with is suspect.<<<

I didn't relaize GZ responded to that post. Are you referring to the right post?

>>>The course you suggest would have required several times as many troops.<<<

The folks who were looting those buildings were unarmed. I think your excuse is a stretch. Bottom liine is that if Bush's primary goal was establishment of a democracy in Iraq post invasion, then Bush had a responsibility to protect those Iraqi public buildings housing citizen records. Bush didn't do this. Instead, I reapeat, he chose only to protect the Iraqi Oil Ministry Building.

>>>Democrats barely authorized the ones that were sent.<<<

Congress, via the resolution, gave Bush authority to do what he had to do to remove weapons of mass destruction. By the way, Congress gave no authority whatsoever for Bush to move American troops into Iraq in order to establish a democracy. You agree with this, don't you?

>>>Democrats cut the military to the point that transportation was stretched to get the troops in that went in.<<<

Sorry, pal. Democrats weren't then holding the power and organization strategy cards; and they don't hold them today. Interesting how you with to blame the Dems for clear GOPwinger mistakes.

>>>Turkey withdrew permission to use Turkey for transit throwing the whole deployment plan into disarray.<<<

Man, you can't get any of this right. Can ya? Turkey never authorized an allowance for US troops. Bush thought he could bribe 'em, like he did with most members of the so-called "Coalition of the Willing." Turkey didn't take the bait.

>>>But these facts don't seem to bother you.<<<

Peter, where are your facts that can withstand the basis of scrutiny? All I saw from the post to which I'm responding to were excuses and distortions of fact. Of course, you're welcome to try again.
