EVIL-DOER

Okay, now the guy who sits in the White House says we need to stay in Iraq because it's a hotbed of Al Qaeda activity. Funny, that wasn't the case before Bush ordered the invasion. I was under the impression that Saddam Hussein ran a fairly secular ship, and that terrorists really weren't welcome in Iraq. So basically, we have to keep flushing billions of dollars down the toilet (and intp Dick Cheney's pocket) because the United States lied in order to justify invading Iraq, destroying the existing infrastructure and turning the country into a hotbed for terrorists. Nice. Too bad we didn't just keep pounding Al Quaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan instead of instigating a money grab in Iraq for the President's pals. Seems to me that if Bush were seriously concerned about "smoking out" "evil-doers," he might've swallowed his pride and allied himself with Saddam in order to keep the terrorists down. I certainly don't like the guy, but he wasn't a friend of the bad guys Bush has targeted.

It would be nice to get the hell out of Iraq, but I wonder how fucked Israel would be?
