'We've failed to build new Iraq'

ATTEMPTS at nation-building in post-war Iraq have "failed totally", the Polish prime minister warned yesterday, as the death toll since the start of the conflict among coalition troops reached 2,000.

Marek Belka, the Polish leader and a key player in the United States-led coalition, accused planners of mistakenly basing the reconstruction of Iraq on the same model used for Germany after the Second World War.

"It failed totally," Mr Belka said, speaking at a panel discussion on nation-building at an international forum in Sweden. "Many mistakes, major mistakes, have been committed."

Oh, so let me get this right.

According to you and your fellow lunatics, Bush used the 9-11 catastrophe to get Hillary, Pelosi, Bill, Daschle, Kerry, Kennedy, etc to call for action on Saddam's supposed WMD in 1998, 1999, and 2000? And he used 9-11 to get Clinton to sign the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, right?

Are you a believer in time travel?

The people we place so much trust in lied to us. These despicable scumbags falsified intelligence data and fooled everybody long enough to kill hundreds of thousands of people and squander hundreds of billions of dollars. Now up to 3 million people will starve to death in Niger and the UN says they could've been saved for $1 each a year ago and $8 a person now. Much more of our money than that has been embezzeled in Baghdad. Why can't bush send a squadron of C-130s loaded with food and medicine to Niger to save those poor people? If he wanted to murder people he'd spare no expense and the sacrifice in lives would "be worth it." bush is not only the biggest liar but the biggest hypocrite.
