Let’s remember a few things about the invasion of Iraq before we let Bush, Cheney and the Republicans off the hook. First, it wasn’t faulty intelligence that got us into Iraq, it was lies concocted by prez and vice. Second; the reason we attacked Iraq was not to finish what Bush one started, it was to gain control of the Iraq oil, plain and simple. Third; it was a means to give Halliburton a huge windfall profit which Bush accomplished by awarding no-bid contracts to his former employer netting them hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars, raising their stock price significantly, along with the net worth of the Bush and Cheney families.
This entire episode in our history stinks to high heaven. Over 5,000 American military dead and over 100,000 wounded. The actual number of innocent Iraqis killed and wounded was never calculated because their casualties did not matter. The only explanation for how Bush, Chaney and the members of the Senate and House got away with this travesty is that each and every one of them, that’s right – members of both political parties, got a piece of the action and did not investigate what happened. God bless America.

How in hell did you come up with your reply to my Blog. Your criticism is not relative to anything that I wrote. It is very typical of Right Wing Republicans who consistently do what you did, make up nonsense that comes to mind but has no relevance to what was written or said. Why don’t you get a Thorazine Big Gulp and try to get a good night’s sleep. Hopefully you won’t remember any of this and you’ll get interested in something else.
Looks like you got it pretty much figured out. Fighting back after 9/11 was wrong because all physical violence is bad. We must be a spineless, demilitarized nation were every terrorist group is free to kill our citizens.
