An indication of what a mistake this war was?
The execution of the military action, by the military was without doubt superb, both by the US and the British Forces.
However ,The delaration of War and the order to mobilise was a fuck up off biblical porportions.
Based on erroneous inteligence and precipitous in the extreme.
There was in fact "No clear and present danger" whatsoever , and I suspect that over time Bush will be reviled as a warmonger and possibly a fabricator of Inteligence.At best his decision will be shown to be unsafe and unsound.
As time goes on more and more inteligent people , who are not blinkered by fanatical political belief , come realise that fact .
Some realised at the time of course , others just shouted "Housar!"
;-)))
I've said before the scariest thing I have seen is the American people agreeing that the President was wrong , but believing they should back him regardless. !?!?
WTF!!! LOL
