Initial reasons that were given on why Iraq needed invading:

1. Nuclear threat....... Turned out to be FALSE...

2. WMD's................ Turned out to be FALSE...

3. Links to Al Qeada.... Turned out to be FALSE...

Then we had "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"... Fine, lets go home...

But then we got the "new & improved" reasons on why we had to occupy Iraq:

1. Iraq needs to be a democracy...

   Well, is an adminsistration so steeped in scandal and corruption
   a "credible" champion for democracy??? This the Texas
   redristricting, or the lock out of DEemocrats in writing the
   The Medicaid drug program, jyst for starters.

2. Iraq needs a constitution...

   Fine, it has one, let's leave.

3. Iraq needs an elected governemnt...

   Fine it will have one in 2 days, let's leave.

Yeah, the American people have been sitting in front of pea-undre-the-shell artist going on 3 years now with one reationale for being in Iraq after another either proven false or shifted to yet another reason on why the US is in Iraq...

The Bushites can't llooase this debate, Ebbie, 'caause it is the entite ball of wax concerning the health of the Republican Party... Most Americans have sniffed it out yet there are a significant number of them that never will... Unfortanately the ones that are so partisan are also the ones who are wealthy and want to be even more wealthy... In a way, Iraq is just another wedge issue that keeps Boss Hog fat, gettin' fatter by the day, and happy...

Yeah, until you aked the question, Eb, I had never thought of Iraq as another "flag burnin', abortion, gay marriage" kinda issue but the Bush administration has recently taken steops to try to frame it quite thesame as the other divisive issues it uses to keep the American people at each others throats while corporate interets are on the fast track into the working man's pockets...
