Yes, we have some real political pygmies installed at the White House. This whole Iraq scenario reminds me of the movie Braveheart.
The "noble men" (oil administration) are intent on increasing their estates. Condolicia Rice has an oil tanker named after her. They lie to those they are presumably serving (the electorate)about the evidence to support their position, their true intentions and the costs in human life and national treasury. They will bear none of the costs. Their children do not go to war. Their families are not used as cannon fodder.
Bush senior did the same thing his son is now doing except on a smaller scale with his invasion of Panama. Noriega like Saddam had links to the CIA but failed to do their bidding. What is going on with these people?
