"Just because you loathe Bush..." - You're right; I do loathe The Decider. "...doesn't mean you have to praise Iran and Syria..." - You're wrong; I didn't praise Iran and Syria.
As for where the trouble makers in Iraq are getting their weapons, wouldn't it have been a good idea for The Decider to have given that some thought BEFORE he LIED to us and ordered the invasion of Iraq? "It is these weapons and money that has created such suffering in that region." Duh!!! See previous paragraph.
Iraq is a HUGE human disaster, to say nothing of the money US taxpayers are flushing down the drain. Hopefully friends of the kid's daddy will bail him out.
