As for JPs allegation that Bush ignored Israel, why does he think we
are in Iraq in the first place?

Oil.

That was funny the first time you said it. It's even funnier now.

Where's the oil?

Don't you know that they (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz) ****ed
the whole thing up?

They didn't have a plan other than to destabelize the country and
attempt to be the country's resource broker. They had long term
objectives but didn't have a plan. They were stupid.

We took out Saddam so Israel wouldn't have to.

Excuse me for objecting but I think that's hooey.

Bush didn't engage with Israel (or than to maintain status quo) until
his fourth or fifth year in office.

Cheney was after the oil and Bush was after retribution for Saddam
threatening his daddy. He was going to finish what his daddy couldn't
(because his daddy knew it was going to result in a Bagdhad
bloodbath).

It was also a Christian crusade, as is now being revealed. Fits right
into Bush's little brain and it's why Rumsfeld put bible quotes on his
daily briefings to Bush.

Chalk it up to Jesus for Bush, oil for Cheney. They were doing no
favors for Israel, since everyone knew Iran was the much bigger
problem.
