<I think the Iraq War> The frightening thing about the whole mess is that if his advisors had been smart enough to tell him to finish the job in Afghanistan and wait till this coming summer to attack Iraq he would have won the upcoming election going away. Now he's just going to be going away. I just hope he doesn't listen to the ones who tell him he needs to start another war in order to get re-s-elected.

It's hard to comprehend how mind-boggling corrupt these people are. They're completely above the law, even the ones they make. So if Enron hadn't collapsed, would we then have sent in an additional 100,000 troops into Afghanistan (if we had them to send) to protect their pipeline? I'm getting confused with all the interlinking slippery sliding going on here. alternet.org And here's Ken Lay acting like the US government which, since Cheney's his bud, he WAS: "...In late August, Lay appeared to threaten India in an article in the London Financial Times. We expect full price for the plant, he warned; if they received anything less, there could be backlash: "There are laws that could prevent the U.S. government from providing any aid or assistance to India going forward if, in fact, they expropriate property of U.S. companies," he said.... Until there is a full investigation, questions will remain about how far the Bush team went to try to save their buddies at Enron. Vice President Dick Cheney's refusal to release details about his private April meeting with Lay is suspicious. It is already known that Cheney accepted seven out of eight national energy policy recommendations made by Lay; so what are they so damned determined to keep secret? What could be more incriminating than that?..."
