We have 45 nations supporting us on Iraq. Go it alone is a falsehood.

>>Also that Abhu Graib thing could have only come from the top<< That's a real stretch to say that it could have only come from the top.

Nice try, play again soon.

There's a bunch_o_booboos in that sentence.

"Let me just add that to see our nation go from a cooperative international leader to a rogue “go it alone” pirate has not sit well with many of us. "

In foriegn circles the US has long stood out as nation that stands on principle while others tend toward compromise and corruption. As a superpower the US has been seen as THE only credible mediator in many world circumstances because of this.

Calling the US a Pirate nation is a factually inaccurate at the least. Why would you even include yourself in such a malicious statement "OUR NATION"... "PIRATE"... self hate???

Iraq NEVER was about terrorism
sure, Osama Bed Linen still runs wild in W Pakistan
we made a deal with Paki not to pursue him

yet the Bushy Boys say they are fighting terrorism

Iraq is about oil and airbases, and a little more
like defense of the petro dollar
