An Honorable Republican

Please stop trying to claim it for America; the Bush Crime Family abdicated it when they usurped power. Countries run by 'dictators' in the UN: do you want to compare our present policy of saying we can attack anyone in the world we deem a threat against their track records? We come up short.
Saddam saying he hates us is still not a reason for war, keep trying. WMD's being capable of reaching US shores? Doesn't have them. Attack on Israel? Iraq would be a fond memory before any launch left Iraqi air space.

Again, why the Bush Crime Family wants war:
1) War in Iraq is misdirection for drawing attention away from the mismanagement and malfeasance of domestic issues the Bush administration is guilty of.
2) He was dead before 9/11 politically; the war on terror marketing campaign is the only shred of competent appearance they can hold on to.
3) A political ploy to make the opposition party talk about war, a perceived strong point of the administration, and not talk about the economy-privatization of Social Security-ecology-corporate malfeasance.
4) Never ending war makes the Carlyle Groups' portfolio grow for Misters Bush, Majors, Baker, Kissinger, Carlucci and Mrs. Thatcher. As well as every other defense/energy contractor which owns this administrations Republicans.
5) Oil

Please print & cut out the above to uses as a handy pocket reference every time you hear the 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' claptrap.

There is nothing lacking in the US Intelligence Community as inherited by Bush. Just like you can't win a race in a Porsche if you don't start the engine, you can't have active Intel if they're told to stand down, as the BCF told them to.

P.S.

From the 'War is Peace' mind screw that is the Bush Crime Family, a hilarious quote from the Associated Press by our own Senior Count Dracula, Donald Rumsfeld, speaking about how IRAQ manipulates THE WORLD : "They are just masters at manipulating the press and putting out disinformation", he told Jim Lehrer of PBS.

Do you folks use the "look at the pot calling the kettle black" euphemism in the UK too?

yeah.
unfortunatly if Bush is the pot, were the tea bag.
