[George W. Bush]

As applied to Iraq, that's a thornier question. This was a preemptively defensive war, started under the mistaken assumption that Saddam had WMD's and he would use them against us. This proved not to be true, but it sure seemed plausible at the time.

So you're saying, "Oopsie!"? Well, that would be a terse summary of Bush's final assessment of our mission in Iraq unless you count the postwar bilge about nationbuilding and spreading democracy. Somehow, you'd think our glorious leaders would finally realize that the American public reacts to 'spreading democracy' with about the same enthusiasm as 'spreading venereal diseases'.

How about OPie's assertion that Islam is a Satanic religion? Whaddaya think? Personally, I'm still thinking it is only an explicitly Antichrist religion.

How about OPie's assertion that Islam is a Satanic religion? Whaddaya think? Personally, I'm still thinking it is only an explicitly Antichrist religion.

It's an outgrowth of a Christian heresy.
