I agree. I still believe the neocons who rushed us into that war did so with deliberate malice aforethought. And the media helped them, by passive 'patriotic' coverage. I personally also still believe that the Bush inner group made huge profits off the enterprise. Some of it was obvious, such as the no bid contracts to Halliburton. But Rumsfeld and Bush himself were also well positioned to make big money. The Carlyle Group alone (Bush Senior was a board member) made nearly a billion dollars in two years. Easy now to discount their actions as stupidity. One side effect of all this may be to bring back to public attention the Iraq debacle. Might help Democrats this fall. Knock on wood :)
