Nice spin, Chuck, but Cheney-Bush went to war telling Americans that Saddam was an imminent nuclear and bio-chemical weapons threat to US not just Saddam's own people or neighbors. In the process, they totally lied and have gotten us into the most messy, expensive, no-hope dope quagmire since Vietnam. Regardless of what France and Russia were doing, this is our problem now. Cheney-Bush broke it and now we own it. So quit trying to find a scapegoat in the French. They had nothing to do with this disaster. Also, though Bushies promised us Iraqi oil would pay for the war, we'll never see a single dime. This thing could cost us 100 billion a year for many years, all on the public credit card, plus thousands of American lives and possible more terrorism at our door, not less. Meanwhile Halliburton, Bectel and some Bushie oil company friensd get stinking rich. Bushies have no plan in Iraq and never did. Bush is finally starting to copy Kerry's plan (too little too late as our allies desert us) but otherwise they never thought beyond the invasion, which was the easy part considering how overwhelming our military is. Don't think Americans have not forgotten the thousands of lies Bushies told us about why we had to invade Iraq by ourselves. Iraq is an albatross around our neck now, not some noble crusade.

Chuck, when the US was asking for the help way back then, the other countries said lets give it some more time the weapons inspectors are back in the country now...let's wait and see. But after the major combat operations the UN invited the US back to the UN to see what role the UN could play in the peacekeeping...Bush rebuffed them. As for the oil for food scandal...this is a new situation. It will unfold as it will...but this had no bearing on decisions that went before. As I understand it, there are many people from many countries implicated, including the US. For any wrong doing let them be prosecuted under the law. And in the US may the people bilked by Kenneth Lay get justice too for the billions of dollars they were swindled out of...and by other CEO's too who broke the law and robbed millions of people...let them all find justice.
