Is that good enough for you, Doug?


No, it's not.

By the way, why do you suppose this sort of violence was not going on
before we arrived? Keep in mind that your first response will probably be
flung out the window, and go for the second response, to save us all some
time.

First response: because you're in idiot (I figured I had a freebie there
since you already told me you were throwing it out).

Second response: because bin Laden's goal (as described by his 1996
Fatwa) was to toss the U.S. out of the Middle East, sieze control of Saudi
Arabia, and use its oil to finance an Islamic state. The problems with
his plan arose when we voluntarily surrendered Saudi Arabia and planted
170,000 troops in the 2nd most oil-rich country in the region...which just
so happens to be on the border of the #1 oil-rich country that bin Laden
and his fellow Salifis hoped to sieze.

Great! But, I thought we were supposed to give the Iraqi people a safer,
more civilized country. Your president said "Mission Accomplished". When do
you think this goal might be achieved?
