… that the Bush Administration had no plans to go after Saddam for his alleged WMD, but rather because of Iraq’s past history with the US and his oil supply. Why do I say this? Because after the invasion, instead of protecting the Iraqi citizens and their businesses from looters, US troops stood by and did nothing. US Troops did guard the oil refineries, however. And now the most damming - from the Guardian,
Equipment which could be used in an illicit nuclear bomb programme has disappeared from previously monitored sites in Iraq, and radioactively contaminated items from there have been found abroad, the International Atomic Energy Agency has told the UN.
So, if, uh, we went in to find the WMD (you know, the ones that were never there) why did we leave equipment that could be used to MAKE WMD unguarded? Could it be that, like with every other thing they’ve tried to do in Iraq, the Bush Administration has no clue what they’re doing?
Read the damn Marshall plan. Put enough troops on the ground. Don’t disband the Iraqi army - great idea, putting a bunch of soldiers into the unemployed market. Gee, I wonder what they’re doing now - killing Marines? They could have been used to maintain order and help rebuild.
George W. Bush - you are incompetent. Four years ago, your supporters told us that even if you *were* a moron, you surrounded yourself with smart people. You told us that you didn’t like yes men. Well, looks like the “smart people” you surrounded yourself with are indeed “yes” people, and as a result, you’ve bungled the War on Terror, and brought the United States into another quagmire like Vietnam.
“Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it”, so goes the saying. Gee, guess who failed to study history?
George W. Bush. Too dangerous to reelect.
