Like exactly when did we begin to give a rat's a$$ about the U.N.? The current Bush in power seems not to care about the wishes of the U.N. Bush I did not have the testicular fortitude to finish the job when there was a real reason to remove Saddam from power. How many Iraqis did we leave to be tortured and killed by Saddam when we left the country high and dry after not finishing the job the first time? At least then, we had a real coalition of allies and not one where we end up the ones stuck paying the check at the end of the evening. Sadly, the price for two Bush presidential screw ups is being paid in American soldiers and more Iraqi civilians blood.

Good grief! Has Dubya done ONE dam* thing you agree with?
