As I said, my sympathies are only with those who are opposed to Dumbya and his insane policies, but unfortunately happened to be in the military at the wrong time. Btw, seen Abizaid threaten the use of nukes on Iran? Once one says that, what moral right does one have to condemn it if an invaded country uses a nuke on the invading forces?

So the three stooges (Franks, Bremer and Tenet) being presented with the nation's highest award?! Let's see - Franks screwed up the war by grossly underestimating the extent of the resistance in Iraq, Bremer screwed up by dismantling the Iraqi bureaucracy and the Iraqi armed forces, and Tenet screwed up by being wrong on the intelligence. So by Dumbya's logic, all three have done well and deserve the nation's highest award! This would have been laughable, had it not been so tragic.
