We invaded Iraq from the SOUTH

[shraby]

those explosives were 30 miles SOUTH of Baghdad. Bush knew that facility existed because of inspections over the years. WHO gave the order to bypass that facility and leave it unguarded? It would have to be a conscious decision to leave it alone because of all the explosives stored there so somebody issued an order.

1. That was

Bill Clinton who gave those orders of course.

[donkeyotay]

3. technically, it was Clinton's penis

Let's see, not responsible for

war profiteering contracts

letting weapons fall into terrorists' (?) hands

lying about 1) aluminum tubes, 2) yellowcake, 3) UAVs, 4) bioweapon's labs, and 5) centrifuges.

No WMDs.

No links to Osama.

Didn't listen to military advisors.

Didn't listen to intelligence - even formed own office of misintelligence. (But then blamed CIA anyway.)

Stonewalling FBI investigation into wrongdoing at highest levels, even possible espionage within the administration.

Stonewalling investigation into outing of CIA agent by an administration official.

Stonewalled vote bribery scandal in Medicare Bill corporate pork giveaway.

I know this is just the tip of the iceberg. There's so much corruption and incompetence, no mere mortal can even begin...

So let's re-elect these idiots! They make us feel safe! Stay the course! Whatever it takes!

2. Well, it was on account of it being such a successful invasion

If the damn Iraqis had kept to the script, we would have gone in slower and had time to stop. See, because Tommy Franks did such a good job, we moved too quick. See, it was a catastrophic success.

Let me finish!

Um.... um..... education, yeah, that's it. Education is the key....

I imagine if Bush ever answers that question, the answer will be something like that.

4. Rumsfeld thought it was a wholesale florist and that

the people were looting flowers to throw at the troops, so they didn't want to intrude.

:crazy:

5. here is a ten-ton truck. 35 - 40 of these could contain the explosives

Yeah, how'd they miss THAT?

"hey, look at all those trucks at the IAEA site! Wonder what they're doing?"
