Teribus: I take issue with a LOT of what you said but the ONE thing you said which leads me to think there is no point in refuting any of it is your claim that the suggestion that an impending invasion of Iraq has everything to do with oil is somehow "BS"...I mean, what planet do you live on?

That, and you think somehow BUSH got the UN to see reason? This is a man who'd never even been to Europe before getting, erm, "elected." His grasp of foreign policy is no firmer than his grasp of simple English grammar.


Doug: You did not really "suggest" any such thing but I guess it is all mere semantics at this point...and your claim that you;re not being nasty is nasty in itself, isn't it? at the very least, screamingly passive-aggressive. And your assessment of the "Mudcatter view" of the actions of Bush are pretty simple-minded and sweeping. You wouldn't wnat anyone to do as you do, and casually lump you into a big pile with others who thought as you do...except, oops, there aren't many around here who do think as you do. So hard to say.
