Damn good Analogy, you ought to ship it to Bush to use in a Speech. I might add, relating to the rest of the world: Those nations in a position to give us real help (France, Germany & Russia) had their OWN reasons to leave the Status Quo. (Corruption, self dealing, enormously profitable contracts with Saddam) The rest of the UN consists mainly of small nations that really had no risk from Saddam, nothing that they could spare to help us, and every dime the UN or the USA or anyone else spends against Saddam is a dime that cant be GIVEN to them as foreign aid. The end result is this: Each nations representatives first and foremost are to consider THEIR nations needs and objectives. There was nothing in the pot for them so they voted NO. ONLY the USA and Great Britian had no corruptable influence in this matter, had the means to react and the greatest danger of risk from Saddam. To this nuclei a small group of Nations led by leaders of moral turpitude joined. That is our coalition. jdn

The Bush Administration and its supporters sold us a Bill of Goods. We were assured there were weapons of mass destruction. What other lies are we supposed to believe?

Your revisionist story is a bunch of trumped up BS.... The facts are that Bush received intel with caveats that should have cautioned against going to war, but as is now being shown with latest tell all book, he was going in no matter what. 911 was his excuse and he linked that and WMD almost 24/7. And he said Saddam had WMD, not plans for WMD..... No, Bush himself never used the word imminent publicly, but Rummy did and so did McClellan...the rest of the Bushies used terms like mushroom clouds, a immediate threat, gathering threat, etc etc.... Stop hiding behind silly semantics. You and the rest of us were lied to and lots of people died because of those lies... Bush made a mistake, he knows it, everyone knows it ...why doesn't he simply admit it and move on with the mess in Iraq. And why doesn't he concentrate on OBL and Al-Qaida.. And why won't he cooperate with the investigating committee's? Something to hide? And btw, be sure to watch Richard Clarke on "60 minutes" tonight.. phxnews.com
