I just learned today that one of the largest military contract firms was preparing to go to war in Iraq, 6 months prior to Congress actually voting the approval of war. Management said they were informed the US was going to go to war in Iraq.

Even though I dislike Bush Jr, I honestly thought up until now that he truly must have been mislead about the "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq (because I couldn't imagine anyone being so dishonest.) However, management said that they were aware the US was going to attack Iraq and that the decision to attack Iraq was actually a bygone decision made prior. It's truly clear that the US Bush/Cheney govt had intended to attack Iraq all along, based upon this information.

Given what I learned today, I think Bush needs to be impeached. I think he might be a dishonest liar - it's either that Bush lied or Cheney lied - it's one of those two that lied. The system needs to find which of those two lied and then eject the one that did. We need to get honestly back into the system - we need our US govt back. The current regime is not the US govt, but a "Bush/Cheney govt" that is not representative of the type of honesty this country should have & display as a leader, as a country.

How can it be that even *I* can get this piece of news information through my connections but our judicial system doesn't? What on earth is wrong with our system - shouldn't they be on top of this and be a better watch dog?

Regards,
Amy J

John,

re: Now that we have solved this problem, can we do something about a single payer nationwide healthcare system that could be accessible and affordable for mere mortals???

The single payer health care system IS more $ efficient... eliminating the (very expensive and disruptive) middle men. But health care delivery is a much more complex system, and the devil (or God) would be in the details. I'm not ready to tackle that one... I'll leave it to much smarter people.
