That's entirely possible. But then again.. I don't think any party WITHIN Iraq having a vested interest in seeing the country thrust into a civil war that might slip out of their control. That's intuitive. If people actually believed that there would never be any civil wars. And I certainly would rather be guilty of having tried to create positive change here, and failing.. than being accused of having cut and run and permitted Iraq to plunge into utter chaos. Of course you would; that's the talking point isn't it. In particular use the phrase "cut and run". Then there's the word "failing". That's a nice benign word. Failing being plunging the entire mid-East into utter chaos and giving a major boost to Islamic terrorism. Merely "failing" sounds a lot better. And they were constantly being briefed by a CIA director that was appointed by the Clinton Administration... There you go again with the Tenet appointed by the Clinton Administration as if that means something. Hawk....it doesn't mean anything. Hell, his own FELLOW Democratic Senators, WHO WERE IN CHARGE OF THE SENATE when they GRANTED Bush the authorization to use force against Iraq in October, 2002, are not investigating THEIR OWN DECISIONS The investigation is not about the DECISIONS. The investigation is about whether intelligence data provided by the Administration was manipulated. Pat Roberts promised that investigation over a year ago; he repeated the promise earlier this year and he hasn't done it. The Democrats can't do that investigation. The White House changed it's policy on responding to requests from Congress, requests have to be approved by the Committee chair or they won't respond. Pat Roberts is the Committee chair. jttmab
