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.

We got them started, but it's up to them to build that themselves.

Your president said "Mission Accomplished". When do you think this goal
might be achieved?

When US oil imports from Iraq equal or exceed imports from Saudi Arabia.



This is wonderful. You've finally admitted that everything on your
president's list of reasons was nonsense.

I didn't "finally" admit it. I said that it was about oil three years ago.
