I see a lot of second-guessing on the part of the Bush-haters, exposing only one side of the dilemma that Bush faced while going as far as to make the other side of the dilemma look like a "no-brainer." That includes assuming that Saddam was a "stabilizing" force in the Middle East, which he clearly was not. All this just to portray Bush as a dimwit. No need to pretend that's easy, or else you wouldn't have to try this hard. So you think that bush is the innocent victim of undeserved hatred....he has managed to turn 90% support after 9/11 and Afghanistan to 47% job approval. What irrational force has caused him to lose all that support? Anyone who takes that kind of a mandate and turns into a fight for survival is incompetent or intransigent...even if you don't want to look at the facts, just a sniff test will tell you that much. Why are you so dishonest with yourself? Bush IS not a dimwit...being a dimwit presumes a certain harmlessness. He is dangerous...that's not tolerable in an office holding so much power. Al

I see a lot of second-guessing .... It was first-guessing. If you had been in the marches of millions of protesters when the war began you would have heard all the reasons that Junior's war would fail, before he launched the war. I was there. This quagmire was inevitable. The only aspect of this war that has not unfolded according to my predictions was that Junior did not sucessfully plant WMDs so he could pretend to find them later. TP

TP, One thing that Junior and many of his followers don't realize is that you can't destroy all authority in a country and then expect it to be stable. I see a lot of second-guessing on the part of the Bush-haters, exposing only one side of the dilemma that Bush faced while going as far as to make the other side of the dilemma look like a "no-brainer." Second guessing? Many of us were saying the same thing BEFORE the first shot was fired. Don't you remember? You all were smarter than us and thought we were being unnecessarily negative. That includes assuming that Saddam was a "stabilizing" force in the Middle East, which he clearly was not. For ten years, that region had remained stabile. No longer! All this just to portray Bush as a dimwit. Hey, you are the one who's calling it. No need to pretend that's easy, or else you wouldn't have to try this hard. Bush couldn't have made it more easy if he tried. Its amazing to me how you continue to defend someone this incompetent. ted
