Well, after three years of saying he attacked Iraq because Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, Dubya has finally admitted that the "intelligence was flawed." Of course simple facts like that shouldn't deter us from "staying the course." And "knowing then what I know now I'd have done the same thing."
So our president admits in a round about way that the WMD scare was just a ruse to drag the American people into some holy crusade against the Madman, Saddam.
My guess is that Dubya still doesn't get it. The people feel lied to and cheated. Our leadership failed us in the most egregious manner, by selling us a bill of goods and not delivering. Remember, we were supposed to be liberators, not an occupying force. Maybe that would have been true if he'd had a plan. He didn't, and still doesn't.
With the new round of elections coming and the warm up for the 2008 presidential race, we the people need to speak out loud and clear against the electoral machines that have ruled our country. They are ruining us. We need strength, vision and commitment to a set of values ALL the people can live with. We also need some one in the hot seat that understands a gun is a threat until you fire all the chambers.
So who will be that man, or woman?
