So.... if our MAIN purpose for invading Iraq was to locate and secure the WMD's so that they couldn't fall into the hands of the Boogieman that would surely attack us again on OUR soil...
And, according to you and your friend George, (both of them) we KNOW that these weapons were smuggled out to Syria and Iran BEFORE we even got there....
Then, please refresh my memory as to WHY we didn't go after them in Syria and Iran??
Could it BE that we were really there ONLY for a regime change against the man who HE thinks spit on his DAD?
Or for imperialistic ambitions to spread Democracy to the Muslim sinners in the world?
Or to hopefully establish long term AMERICAN military bases in a position to monitor and control the emerging nuclear powers in the the area?
Or to secure OIL resources against an ever increasing instability amongst the oil producing countries?
Or any of many other reasons that have been suggested based on the amount of money certain "friendly" companies have made from No-bid contracts for the reconstruction of a country WE tore up? The necessary expenditure of Millions of dollars worth of ordinance so that they can be replaced?
Or perhaps something as sinister as a guaranteed plan for "re-election" of a so-called WARTIME President that knew he only got the job by theivery and legal manipulation and could hold the position ONLY through fear mongering?
No.... it HAD to be for the WMD! But, since there WERE none, what we have is nearly 3,000 dead soldiers, hundreds of thousands of dead Arab civilians, and more pissed off militants than we will EVER be able to vanquish!
So.... maybe, it was just a mistake. One that Bush should apologize for. But, just like (or unlike) Kerry.... HE refuses to make a simple apology to the American people, and would rather let American soldiers continue to DIE, than to rectify the situation.
I WISH I could believe he was JUST that cheap. But, I'm quite sure I understand that his motives are much darker.
