At some point it's necessary to break past what we want to believe and to open our eyes to what reality is telling us. It wasn't until only last night when I heard former President Jimmy Carter on Tim Russert say that Vice President Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, and the other neocons were already planning the invasion and occupation of Iraq even before they, Cheney and Bush, were elected in 2000. I dismissed it two weeks back when they asked Condaleeza Rice what the time table was for pulling out of Iraq. When asked if we were going to be there 10 years from now, she said something to the effect she didn't want the enemy to know. I had just dismissed it as something she didn't want to say. But, Jimmy Carter and his former CIA director are saying they think this administration is building military bases in Iraq for us to stay permanently. And, that if they stated a time table for pulling out, a lot of this insurgency stuff would end. What is going on here?
