WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Eighty-nine Democratic members of the U.S. Congress last week sent President George W. Bush a letter asking for explanation of a secret British memo that said "intelligence and facts were being fixed" to support the Iraq war in mid-2002. The timing of the memo was well before the president brought the issue to Congress for approval. The Times of London newspaper published the memo -- actually minutes of a high-level meeting on Iraq held July 23, 2002 -- on May 1. British officials did not dispute the document's authenticity, and Michael Boyce, then Britain's Chief of Defense Staff, told the paper that Britain had not then made a decision to follow the United States to war, but it would have been "irresponsible" not to prepare for the possibility. ...

So you are basically saying might makes right and the ends justify the means? That's exactly the the kind of talk liberals love to portray us all as thugs - Good Job?

The word is "fixin" and has several meanings or useages:

Ok mamma, I'm fixin' to do it.

I was fixin' to come home.

I was fixin' my broke wheel.

Fixin'. Not fix. ;^)

Nope. I'm saying that murderous dictators and primitive barbarians have no inherent "right" to jack the West around with the world's oil supply. Nor do they have any manifest "right" to use petroleum income as leverage to create seditious "religious" or political movements in other countries without consequence.

Unfortunately you haven't yet understood that the West has been under attack by Arabs and Muslims for the last 20 years.

You should be a professional diplomat.
