Dubya's Dilemma: Daddy Doesn't Support the Iraq War Amazing isn't it? Even his own father disagrees. From where did these people come and how do we send them back?

If only his son could read. "Trying to eliminate Saddam .. would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. Apprehending him was probably impossible ... We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq ...there was no viable "exit strategy" we could see, violating another of our principles. Furthermore, we had been self-consciously trying to set a pattern for handling aggression in the post-Cold War world. Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the United Nations' mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression that we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land." - George Bush, Sr. CC

XBrit,re:"Did not work hard enough?" Never had to. Always got his wish. Cost is no object, always free. Not part of his work agreement when selected. Neither reading is required for the job. Good vacation plan, good benefits come with the job.

This is a true story and deserves a reread. Dear Sir or Mam, I am a senior citizen. During the Clinton Administration, I had an extremely good and well paying job. I took numerous vacations and had vacation homes. Since President Bush took office, I have watched my entire life change for the worse. I lost my job. I lost my two sons in that terrible Iraqi War. I lost my home. I lost my health insurance. As a matter of fact, I lost virtually everything and became homeless. Adding insult to injury, when the authorities found me living like an animal, instead of helping me, they arrested me. I will do anything to insure President Bush's defeat in the next election. I will do anything, that Senator Kerry wants, to ensure that a Democrat is back in the White House come next year. Bush has to go. I just thought you and your listeners would like to know how one senior citizen views the Bush Administration. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. Sincerely, Saddam Hussein
