Iraq: What Is Going on??
I really don't know but to me, it looks like Iraq is FIDDUCKED!
Colin Powell knows.
So does Al Gore.
And Bush's policies are making the US even less popular in Arab world.
While new UK evidence shreds the case for the war in Iraq.
From Crooks and Liars:
"So let me see if I have this straight: We invaded a country for whatever reason du jour (WMDs, Saddam an evil dictator, 9/11, terrorists, etc.), without the people at the top having the foreknowledge of the history of the area or the difference between various Muslim sects, took out the relatively secular (although admittedly dictator-based) government in favor of a far more Islamic (but democratically elected) government and continued to occupy said country, fighting in some cases FOR the Shia (being assisted by our sworn enemies, Iran) and against the insurgent Sunnis (that our allies, the Saudis, support). Have I got that right?
Anyone else thinking that the people in charge do not know their ass from their elbow? Feel safer in that "War on Terror"?"

Meanwhile Rumsfeld offered this gem in response to the question, "With what you know now, what might you have done differently in Iraq?": "I don’t think I would have called it the war on terror." (details here)
But to end: bonus terror in the homeland news - Feds to Pay $2M to Man Wrongly Accused of Terrorism.
Wow.....
