Harry, for all we know, this war may still be going exactly according to
their plans. There are many, very smart people in this administration who
must have known replacing Saddam wasn't going to be easy. I firmly
believe the "rose petals", the WMD, were just so much BS for domestic
consumption. I think NOYB "gets it", as does Marshall. These guys are
insane.

The very best thing for *this* country would be for the utter dissolution
of Iraq to take place early in 2008, prior to the fall presidential
elections. so that the neocons can be totally discredited, and we can
elect a new POTUS with a working brain and advisers who are not
warmongers.

I think they were discredited before they started. They needed deception
to make their plans work. Those plans would never survived an open
debate. They had to lie. 9/11 was a gift to the neo-cons. Imagine
selling an Iraq invasion, prior to 9/11. Hell, even in this forum,
besides NOYB and a very few others, how many would have supported a
preemptive invasion of Iraq, before 9/11?
