<Funny how folks like you talk out of both sides of your mouths.. After all, since don't think we should have gone to war in Iraq, that effectively means you were in favor of MAINTAINING Saddam in power.> What typical ignorant bullroar. I opposed an illegal and unwise unilateral invasion that has harmed the interests of the United States and played right into the hands of our enemies. I opposed the stupid, self-destructive, smart ass, unilateral invasion of Iraq. Saddam was a horses ass -- and he was a horses ass when short-sighted US politicians and hacks like Rumsfeld were kissing it. So guys like you who can't think straight about US policy want to make believe that you are tough guy heros instead of stupid screw ups. Be my guest -- pat yourself on the back for lying the American people into believing that we had no choice but to take stupid military actions that have harmed us all.

As ridiculous as it sounds, the reality is that SADDAM did a better job on keeping the peace than you guys are doing. How stupid is that? SADDAM was a third world dictator, murderer and all around US sponsored thug. The world's last remaining superpower with a $500 billion defense budget can't keep the peace as well as he could with his ragtag army of Baathists. How stupid is that? How incompetent is that? On top of that the sheer dollar amount of corruption under SADDAM WAS LESS than the amount of corruption under the US occupation. How stupid is that? How incompetent is that? I wouldn't yell too loudly about Saddam this and Saddam that. The comparisons at this point in time make the world's lone remaining superpower look weak and vulnerable. THAT SUCKS. The Bushies had the opportunity to, even on the basis of a pack of lies, raise an army of 500,000 to properly occupy a country the size of Iraq. Instead, the incredibly incompetent Rummy and Cheney and Wolfowitz went ahead with a force one third that size with the result being: CHAOS Even today, the supremely incompetent Rummy still occupies his position instead of being fired-fired-fired. The idiots are still running this ridiculous war and are trying like heck to start two more. Unbelievable. Note that the US sponsored government in Iraq does not want to go to war with Iran and Syria. How's dem apples?
