Who ever said that Bush is the only liar in America? A charitable thought---some of the quotes are from those who were a) Liars, pure and simple and b) plain gullible or stupid. Bush comes across as a bit of both. I find it quite incredible that there are those---and not only on humble mudcat---who still pretend to find justification for the instigation of the slaughter in Iraq. I find it sickening--as many another does, I'll bet---that any death or injury to a child due to the actions of Iraqi resistance or internecine strife is siezed upon as a kind of propaganda-op by the Bush-support media. How many kids' deaths and mutilations did they sieze upon during the blind slaughter in Fallujah? A friend in the States has just sent me a car sticker [ not inclined to flaunt these, no matter how pertinent]which is "in your face, Mr Bush"; it reads "How Many kids would Jesus have bombed today"?
   Saddam was a bad Bastard. That was NOT the reason for the attack on Iraq. Some always knew that. Some 'my-country-right-or wrong"types
knew, but didn't care. Some now want to believe it, in order to salve a pricking conscience. There is proof, every day, that the whole mess is the result of greed and a ghastly misjudgement of the reaction of a people to being attacked by materially superior forces. Only a realisation by the American people about how badly they are being led will prevent similar tragedy from occurring again and again, and avoid an almost inevitable confrontation involving Russia, China and consequently most of the world.
