What a bunch of hooey and misrepresentation that entire article is, LOL. Its last sentence sums up its folly. Afghanistan, Islam, and Iraq, definitely all have designs to harm us, quite unlike Vietnam, and irrespective of our actions save our conversion to Islam. The world knows the position of radical Islam, where has this author been? Dan B

That's a good article showing dubyaMD bush's fairytale for what it is. The good side of it is that the more he tries to pass off such bullsh!t, the lower his chances of reelection get.

Scott: I am amazed that so many people are still so badly misinformed about Iraq.

<The Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein indeed had sponsored terror over its nearly one-quarter of a century in power. However, according to both U.S. government agencies and independent researchers, Iraqi support for terrorism primarily took place in the 1980s, when Washington was quietly supporting the regime, and had dropped off dramatically since then. No significant Iraqi links have been found to al Qaeda or other terrorist groups that currently threaten the United States.> Most people on this thread have no clue about the history of Iraq and terrorism -- thanks for the post. I do think it important to note that Saddam was clearly a thorn in the side of Israel.

So here the whole sordid business comes full circle. The administration games the public into an endeavor by exaggerating the gains and minimizing the price. Then the gains are revealed as not quite so great. And the price is revealed as very much greater. And if all that weren't bad enough, the operation is bungled on several fronts. So the gamers and the scammers say it's the fault of the critics who tried to carve through the mumbo-jumbo in the first place. And when the public has a touch of buyers' remorse over a product that was peddled on false advertising, the answer lies in the public's own degeneracy and division. It's everyone's fault but theirs. 'The terrorists', domestic enemies, cultural declension, the French, perhaps tomorrow the decline of reading, the end of corporal punishment in the schools, permissive parenting, bad posture, rock 'n roll, space aliens. The administration is choking on its own lies and evasions. And we have to bail them out because the ship of state is our ship. talkingpointsmemo.com
