Yep. In the past three days, there have been countless claims against the Bush Admin about Iraq. Even worse is that they are coming from military commanders who were there. I find that disgusting.

I think trying to protect Powell. Anyway the reasons for the sanctions regime and why Saddam didn't want inspectors in doesn't get a peep of examination in these type of articles...also, Iraq's failure to account for the Anthrax and such per UN requirements.

The Childrens prison was enough for me. Not to mention the fact that Saddam was a scumbag.

Even today with Alzheimers, Reagan is 1000 times better than living Dimwit presidents and the current crop of Dimwit presidential candidates.

Not to worry! W will give them enough rope to hang themselves.......then he will flatten them again and show them to be the fools they are. I have confidence in him. He ALWAYS comes through.
So many times the Demos in Texas thought they had him. Then it was, "Whoop! There he goes!!!!"

Yep, it's going to be fun to watch them try to get the egg off their faces once again. I strongly suspect we will find the WMD's late in June (after Blix is gone).

We've already found precursor materials, mobile labs, and enough missiles that exceeded the UN limits. I also think we HAVE found WMD's but aren't revealing it yet. It's all going to be released complete with confessions of scientists and Iraqi officials. All tied up in a nice neat package.

I posted this also. I checked but you posted it as I was preparing mine. I assume mine will be jerked. My comments on that post were: So now Wolfowitz is telling us that to get 5,000 troops out of Saudi Arabia we will keep 150,000 in Iraq for the indeterminate future. When is this guy going to stop lying? He is an embarrassment to the nation.
