"At the same time, once I saw Powell's presentation before the United Nations, I was convinced that the Administration's stated reasons for invading Iraq were bogus." ME TOO! As I watched Powell point out trucks and buildings that could be ANY truck and building and claim this and that about them, KNOWING that the CIA had the poorest "human intelligence" of any major intelligence agency, waving little vials of powder around, you just KNEW the guy was blowing smoke up your ass. And no matter WHAT Powell says NOW, he knew it too. But I was suspicious way before that. When the whole subject of Iraq was first brought by Bush up after 9/11, I did a double take. Where the HELL did that come from? How did Iraq connect in any way? What's the AGENDA here? As the drumbeat continued it became obvious they WANTED to invade Iraq. In the charged, poisionous atmosphere of fear and anger following 9/11, it was easy for them. Misleading and abuse of power of the highest order. That should be why they are impeached as a group, even though, at this point, it's probably wiser just to flog them for two years and demonstrate to Americans what they've DONE.

I don't think that Watch this swing Bush cares a whole lot about human lives. He can't possibly believe that the caskets coming into Dover aren't allowed to be photographed because of the privacy of the families. I was listening to a radical right wing radio program last week. If I remember correctly, the host of the show explained that the Washington Post, who uncovered the poor treatment that resulted in immediate action to improve the conditions of our veterans, did it only to embarrass President Bush and his administration. I wouldn't worry about Bush being embarrassed. The only mistake he's ever admitted to making was saying "Bring them on." He's shielding himself pretty well from this incident. jttmab
