Bush lied to the country and to the world in order to invade Iraq in an effort to privatize the oil reserves for his personal profit. That plan was in place until an oil man said...are you crazy? Why do you support such corruption? Why do you support such unethical behavior on the part of government officials? Why? The only Americans giving aid and comfort to terrorists are the Bushies and their supporters. Bush has publicly stated that he's no longer concerned with OBL. Bush invited terrorists into Iraq in order to take lethal shots at our soldiers. Bush ignores Afghanistan and allows heroin to flow freely providing an unending supply of cash for terrorists. Bush failed to secure Iraq's borders and allowed his friends the corrupt Saudis to export terrorists into Iraq....to take lethal shots at our soldiers. 2,000 KIA and ten or twenty times that greviously wounded. No one knows how many Iraqi civilians are dead or wounded. This is what YOU support. I don't need to throw mud at Bush. Bush lives in the mud at a 58% disapproval rating and THAT's from outlier rightwing Gallup no less. As before, regardless of your propaganda spinning, Iraqis voted for electricity, jobs, safety, potable water and garbage pickup. And, yes, you bet I wish there weren't the accusations of fraud and that the Sunnis had been able to muster a no vote. The reason for that is because, unlike you, I want Iraq to be peaceful so that we can get the heck out of that country and I believe that a defeat of the Constitution would throw the insurgents into a tizzy. They could no longer tell their Sunni brethren that the political process doesn't work for them. That would take the wind out of the sails of the insurgency. That's my speculation based on what I see. Even if the Constitution is put into place, I still want to see Iraq become peaceful ASAP so that we can stop pouring money into the giant maw of Halliburton and other corrupt Republican machines. Unlike you, I understand that true democracy is not a one-time photo op but a stable infrastructure that does one thing above all else: protect minority interests from the tyranny of the majority. Unlike you, I don't trivialize democracy. Unlike you, I don't see success in Iraq being partitioned and turned into a theocratic medieval state. BTW, why did Iraqis have to walk to polling stations? They walked because the entire country is such a chaotic mess that no civilian traffic was allowed to move. The entire country had to shut down to allow voting. Bush: major combat operations have ended. Bush: liar, incompetent, thief, alcoholic, deserter. That's YOUR GUY. I expect better.
