You liked the giant sucking sound?

Congress blinked but I remember Bush in that smarmy voice of his stating 
that he was going ahead regardless of authorization. As the former CIA 
head he was used to doing whatever he pleased. 

There was a question at the time whether or not Kuwait was slant drilling 
into Iraqi oil reserves and Iraq had been green lighted but that was 
quickly buried as the MSM churned out the tired old stories of bayoneted 
babies that had been dreamed up at Britain's Wellington House during WWI. 
Everytime I hear one of those classics I know somebody is bullshitting.

As for Junior's reprise I never did figure out if Powell was set up or if 
he was complicit. It's a good thing they never did find WMDs since they 
probably would have a Made in USA label left over from the US proxy war 
against Iran. 

Hussein, like Gaddafi, wasn't a very nice guy but he did keep a lid on the 
country. Now it's a failed state and the most corrupt in the neighborhood. 
Again like Libya, the US destroyed the government and left it to be 
replace by a vacuum.

Afghanistan was another adventure that accomplished nothing.
