While I was leaving a set of comments on AWOL-boy on Tacitus' blog, refuting a winger who still thinks that the 1600 Crew would never stoop to political slander and/or libel for expediency, I found this really interesting quote from the Chimp-in-Chief while a candidate well before the election:
"Bush also defended his father's decision to end the 1991 Persian Gulf War without sending troops after Saddam Hussein, and said as president he would ensure Iraq didn't develop weapons of mass destruction."
"If we catch them developing weapons of mass destruction, there won't be any weapons of mass destruction left in Iraq if I'm the commander in chief," Bush told reporters, without giving details. "I'm not going to tell you what I mean, because I'm not going to tell Saddam Hussein what I mean."
He forgot to say "and I'm not going to tell the tax-paying American People who have to send their kids over there what I mean either, because I'm the commander-in-chief.
Sound Eerily Familiar? It's looking more and more to me like the attacks of 9/11 are and have been the pretext to connect Saddam to al-Qaida and to get that oil.
No one has set up the kind of infrastructure planning in Afghanistan that they have in started for post-Saddam Iraq, and there is almost a single-mindedness of purpose, up to and including making up reasons to attack, none of which seem to ever hold water (or oil).
