Wiley's Politics - The Elephants and the @sses

Bush's motives for going in there were crazy. Saddam was no threat to anyone in the region other than Iran.

We should have taken him out during Desert Storm. That was the time to have gone in to Iraq. It would have been over in 2 months top probably. We had justification for it. Storm-in Norman wanted to do just that. Ole man Bush chose otherwise. Every war crime imaginable he was then guilty of. He was left for the lesser of the two evils. Now we got the more powerful evil, and Alqaeda, and the Taliban regrouping.

Setting dates publicly is probably not the best of ideas. We need to get out there sooner than later, and establish checkpoints like the Israeli's do. The country does have to protect itself and the training and equipment will need to be sold to them so they can. Your right we put the country in a vulnerable situation and now we are bogged down. The whole Middle East situation crazy without the Taliban and Alqaeda. There little else than a MiddleEast gang of fanatics with to much time on their hands. We get Bin Laden and this would change the face of things imo. Won't stop the insurgent problem that is really coming out between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Thats the area we need to be lighting up from the air.



Iraq/oil and big business like Halliburton and Bush not wanting to pursue Bin Laden seemed evident considering the Bush's family and their close ties with the Bin Laden family.

The politicians spent 8 years pursuing Clinton and trying to take him down, and when 911 took place they got caught with their pants down.

Iraq??????????.
