RICHARD RUSSELL ASKING FOR APOLOGIES RE IRAQ WAR "July 30, 2003 -- I took a lot of flack from half a dozens subscribers when I questioned the reasons behind President Bush's war on Iraq. Now the criticism has died down to almost zero. C'mon, true patriots, I'm now accepting apologies. Isn't it time to admit that the reasons for the "war," were phoney, that the so-called intelligence leading to the war was a "crock" of you know what, and that the rationale that Bush and the boys gave us for the war was as daffy as it was wrong? If death and destruction weren't involved, the "war against Iraq" would go down as a classic Keystone Kops comedy. But now the Iraq mess is turning into a political football. How much will the war cost? How will it be paid for? How long will our military be forced to stay in Iraq? Will the Iraq mess result in a one-term presidency for Bush? Both Republicans and Democrats are now attacking the While House.

Well, that's politics for you, and the Dems finally have an issue -- Republican stupidity and duplicity. But whether the Dems have a candidate capable of beating Bush remains a question. Probably the guy that can beat Bush is George W. Bush himself. As far as this observer is concerned, Mr. Bush is looking guiltier and more defensive as time goes by. "
