After the fact or not...the end result is that Saddam had no WMD's which was the major justification for going to war in the 1st place. Even after all this...some of the right-wing wackos out there still can't accept the fact that this administration "cherry picked" the intel to justify their case for invading.

Have you ever noticed the way the mission in Iraq has changed as time goes by? First it was WMD's (didn't find any)...then it was to remove the evil tyrant Saddam (captured him)...then the mission turned to spreading democracy to the Iraqi people (yup...they voted but people are still dying)...and now the latest justification is to fight the insurgents (which are mostly Iraqi's fighting Iraqi's and no mention of civil war). We're past due for the next change in the mission...does anybody out there have some ideas? Knowing good ol bumbling Bush he'll start using the word "crusade" again to describe the mission in Iraq. This will give the bad guys more rhetoric to rally around which will equal more dead American servicemembers.

Here's my idea for the mission change:

"We're in Iraq to capture the flag before the others capture ours. Then we race towards our base with it to win the match."

I remember when Colin Powell was giving that UN speech. He certainly looked uncomfortable, as if he did not feel right about what he was saying. I think Powell was selected for that position, not because of his diplomatic experience, but because he had creditability in the public eyes that the Bush adminitration needed. Bush and Cheney sent Powell out there like a used car salesman to try to close the deal before anyone looked under the hood. I recall laterr reading something like this about Powell's doubts.

Some "right-wingers" (myself for one, and several others that I know) were opposed to the Iraq invasion on Constitutional, Just War, and other grounds. In fact some of the more extreme right wingers consider those who led the buildup to the "war" (except I don't remember war being declared by Congress) as Neo-cons... and not true conservatives or whatever you want to call them. I guess I'm just not sure that true "right-wingers" should being classified as wackos. Or maybe I'm not such a "right-winger" as I've been led to believe.

Were not going to win the war unless we ban the press from the war zone and take a very hard hand to those people.

Ryan,
The term "right-wing whackos" was directed at the real nuts out there like Rush, O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Hannity, Dobson, and other wind bags that worship this administration and everything it does. For the record...I also dislike the ultra "left-wing whackos" as well. It makes me wonder what ever happened to moderate politicians? Maybe they're extinct!
