The only progress in Iraq was getting rid of Saddam, and that cost too much. I am not reckoning the cost in money. Since then Iraq has constantly deteriorated. Physically it's worse off, and Saddam has been replaced by a large number of fanatics, terrorists and idiots. And a lot of people are dead.

Alawi is not telling the truth; he's repeating the Bushie's party line.

And I still think that Bush is a more arrogant asshole, for reasons cited before, and also because that's what his body language says: the Banty Strut, the Smirk, the Cowboy Boots on a man that doesn't ride.
