Say what you want about WikiLeaks - and I don't much like what it has done - it nevertheless would be useful for its founder, Julian Assange, to follow George W. Bush as he lopes around the country, promoting his new book, "Decision Points." When, for instance, Bush attempts to justify the Iraq war by saying the world is a better place without Saddam Hussein, Assange could reach into his bag of leaked U.S. government cables and cite Saudi King Abdullah's private observation that the war had given Iraq to Iran as a "gift on a golden platter."

Damn oil money gluttons. Here in American things get served up on a silver platter. They're running around serving things up on gold platters.
That's big pimping - on our dime.
Saddam was convicted by the Iraqis he'd tortured and murdered. THEY hanged him.
I still believe that if the US had responded forcefully to the bombing of the USS Cole, after all, this was a USN destroyer, Gore may have ridden that into the WH.
They had the chance to be great, they just regret that they didn’t have the balls to respond.
But greatness is beget by determination and resolute action.

Remind me if you would, Dick, where were the Demokrats when Bush was getting ready to invade Iraq? Why weren’t they trying to stop him? As I recall, just about all of the “important” ones rubberstamped Bush’s call for war. If Demokrats are so damned smart, how come they were so universally fooled by Dumb ol’ GW Bush?
If only Lincoln hadn't forced the CSA into the War Of Northern Aggression history would have recorded him as the uneducated, genocidal, racist, humorless, bipolar, drug addicted, homosexual, atheist, that most of his Democrat contemporaries (and some on this website) recognized.
“as is the Obama administration’s methodical and effective attempts to isolate Tehran.”
No reason to read beyond that - world class Asshat!
Bush has got it right: He will be remembered for his foreign policy, not for No Child Left Behind. A handful of presidents would have had the balls to invade Iraq. He did. He got clobbered by his opponents. We still won.
The world was a safer and better place with BOTH Hitler and Stalin. /s/
Sadly, like Presidio’s /sarc comment, I’ve seen that one here too.
I read where the Tides Foundation is the financier for Wiki leaks. Since everyone here agrees that Wikileaks commits treason and since they are doing just what Tides gave the the money to do why isn’t Tides being investigated for treason?
Exactly.
Right. Also, your neighborhood might also be a safer place if the guy in the house next to you is pulling gangbangers off the street and sadistically raping them in his basement.
Hey — remember that /s/ tag. Otherwise, you come off as one scary dude! ;-)
Liberals like to argue this point, but its pretty clear to me that Saddam would already have Nukes by now. What, with a head start on the practical knowledge (before that Jews took care of them for us in 1981) and at least 19 years of working on them since Desert Storm. BTW, then Iraqi Vice President Saddam Hussein stated that the 1975 construction of the French reactor Osirak outside of Baghdad was “the first step in the production of an Arab atomic weapon.”
Actually I think Carter can be blamed for turning Iran into a huge threat. With folks like Dickie Cohen helping him out.
