Default OT Bush is getting scary.

Give your head a
shake, everyone knows the war has nothing to do with oil,


Hmmm. Why then, did we pick Iraq?
We now know that the war had nothing to do with the weapons of mass destruction
that were supposed to present an imminent threat. We now know that the
administration claims of knowing specifically just where to look for these
weapons (but withholding that info from the UN inspectors as a sort of test)
were at least blustering errors and arguably worse.
Even Bush has admitted that his admnistration could have been better stewards
of the truth ("we should not have used that line in the SOTU speech").

If it was about freeing an oppressed people from a tyrranical dictator- we seem
to have accomplished that. But if oil had nothing to do with it, why Iraq?
There are dozens of hell holes on the planet where the people are worse off
than Iraq. In most of those places, we wouldn't be dealing with people
demanding the dictator's return in the aftermath, like the thousands of Iraqis
who
marched and chanted for the removal of the US troops and the return of Saddam
Hussein just two days ago.

There's an up side to the anti-US, pro Saddam demonstrations, however. We have
introduced freedom of speech and assembly in Iraq. It's embarrssing that so
many are assembling to speak against the US, though.
