Wise leaders point to truth about Iraq war and how it started Recent quotes by well-known leaders and authors have influenced my thinking on the role of America in this dangerous world. In his book, "The Price of Loyalty," former Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neill tells how he was astonished that, 10 days into the new Bush administration, they were "examining military operations in Iraq." (January 2001) He writes, "America was washing its hands of Israel. Now, we'd focus on Iraq." (Pg. 74) "We could take (Hussein) out and change Iraq into a new country. It would solve everything." Tonite, Newt Gingrich was on B. O'Reilly's show. They were talking about the new Iraqi positions and were agreeing that while it did not go as Bush had planned, it's done and now Bush can move on from here; in fact, that he has clear sailing between here and the Nov. elections. That's their reality.....they care little about principles or public opinion EXCEPT where it hurts Bush's re election chances. These people [and their supporters] are ruthless, committed and determined. And they will do whatever it takes, including BSing the nation, to get that second 4 years. Did you not see the ABC poll.......55% or 60% of the GOP thinks torture is fine? That's why I am worried. This country is in big trouble if they pull off a second term.
