There are quotes floating around the net that Bush Senior (GHW Bush)
said going into Iraq would be the wrong thing to do. Of course, that
was at the end of the first Gulf War. Bush Junior (GW Bush) could say
things had changed. However, the reality is Sadam was weaker now than
after the first Gulf War, and the only thing that changed was the BS
dished out by Chalabi. I laught at the reversal for fortune that has
befell (sp) Chalabi. Note that Clinton paid Chalabi money as well, but
didn't fall for the BS.

Judging from Bush's recent approval ratings, it is finally beginning to
sink in to the general public that we have somehow managed to snatch defeat from
the jaws of victory in Iraq. That we never should have gone there is the first
place is now quite academic.
