I wanted to expand on an article written by Mr. Independent regarding Bush and Clinton and responsibility for 9/11.

I have thought for a couple years now that Bush's occupation of Iraq and Kuwait was conveniently timed and linked to the attacks of 9/11. People-turned Bush zombies following 9/11 must not be aware that President Clinton gave this "good" president (Bush) all of the necessary intelligence dealing with al Qaeda and the gathering threat. What did Bush do after his first briefings of his presidency? He ignored them and went on vacation. The first nine months of his presidency are marked by his "sleeping on the job."

The two conclusions that Mr. Independent hints at are 1) Bush didn't give a s*** and didn't take the threat seriously or 2) He saw an attack against America as his opportunity to invade Iraq. WE ALL KNOW THAT BUSH CHOSE OPTION #2.

Here are some logical explanations for invading Iraq:

Revenge for Saddam's attempted assassination of Bush's father
Further lining the pockets of Dick Cheney with nice and juicy oil
Fulfilling Paul Wolfowitz' worldview that the Christians no what's best for the Muslim infidels
Assisting Carl Rove and his henchmen with boosting the country's opinion of the plain-spoken simple minded idiot of a president
Giving Donald Rumsfeld more practice sending American troops to test our cool new weapons

And uh... oh yeah... Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (so do we) and the Iraqi people need to have a functional democracy (we need that too).

...Iran and Syria -- That Should Be Fun...

gulf_wars_t And there it is, folks. 9/11 is just a setup for all of this fun in Babylon. Just like the Crusades and ancient holy wars fought around the Garden of Eden, the Christian Saviors are back and they may be coming to your town soon (Iran and Syria).

So get ready for more of that genuine American-style freedom and democracy possibly featuring the murder of hundreds of thousands of your innocent countrymen with a subtle topping of Shock and Awe to send you back in the Stone Age. Then, as if that isn't enough, we'll tell you it's for your own good.

Like parents watching their children engaging in fun activities, we'll watch you scurry with blue fingers in America's poorly written fairy tale titled, "12,000 Years of Religious Hatred & War -- That's Nothing! Here's a McDonalds."

Thank God that George W. Bush is here to lead us. Well, probably not God. I'd thank Halliburton and the Supreme Court first.

When someone writes and article like this, it makes me wonder if they have ever talked with someone face to face that is from the countries mentioned and their views. Not the ones placed on the television or newspapers, but talk face to face with the locals in which our presence there have helped in the face of their first democratic election, their first true ability to police up the area and to have a true military of their own that has for the main interest to protect the people rather than follow the orders of a dictator.

Also, heads up...since you place the ***Iran and Syria*** and then mentioned Babylon...you do know that Babylon is in Iraq don't you. On that note, it is a very beautiful place to visit, even if the reason for being there is to protect people like you to talk like you wish without you even knowing it. Too bad that part of everything going on seems to be removed from your grasp. To me, that is a very sad American injustice on your part. You have no idea the things that that country had to harm others. You mention that we do also, however, we could have used those types of weapons and yet we refrain. That is the difference. Try and figure that part out when you comment. Thanks.

Forgive my typos, I get a little irritated when something like this is written and that it's usually written by someone who doesn't have the true desire to go over there and see what we are actually doing while we are there. By the way, on that note, the media can be sorely deceiving when it's reporting about things over there. One example is when Secretary Rumsfeld came to visit Kuwait, it talked of how the soldiers were so upset and bombarded him with tough questions. You know, he asked us to, he wanted to know all that was going on. He also was swarmed at the end of the meeting and soldiers by the hundreds went to him to shake his hand and for photos. Don't trust everything you read or see on t.v. it may be misleading, try talking to actual people who are involved.

Cheyegirl,

It sounds like Bush's marketing henchmen (Fox News and the military leadership) did their job on you. Understand that the job of the military leadership is to keep morale up among the soldiers actually doing the work. Learn a little on your own before you start preaching the talking points of the military, of all institutions.

Second, invading Iraq does not make me safer here or more free to voice my opinion. You speak as though we just toppled China or the Soviet Union -- or Nazi Germany. No, we toppled Iraq.

Another thing for you to learn: History. History is usually a very good way to understand present and future conditions in the world. Fanatics with deep roots of ethnic hatred are not going to cool their s*** and willing accept democracy just because the wonderful American mercy army shows up and shoves it down their throats.

Is it morally acceptable to sacrifice any amount of people for any politician's cause? Don't be so quick to justify the death of others if all you value are statistics. You are ignorant toward history and life as are Bush and his cowardly bureaucrats.

Ironically I've learned a lot on my own in aspect of the military, from my grandfather to my father to myself. I'm career military and have seen the distant lands in which you choose to speak of first hand. I've seen first hand the people you speak of and how we "shove" our views on them. I speak of the fact that you apparantly have not been there, done that and gotten the t-shirt, I have. I'd also go back if asked, in which I probably will. It's difficult at times to remember what we are fighting for, however, I then think of my family and remember exactly why I do the duty I do. Maybe you shouldn't assume that I have no knowledge of the military way of life. I've lived it all my life, and it's not Bush that has gotten to me with his ploys, it's the thought of some extremist coming back to this land and killing more, or have you forgotten that? Keep in mind as a military member when it came time to vote, I had too choices, a person who would remember that we were over there or one who would just as soon forget that we were over there because even with "pulling the troops out and ending the war" we would still be over there and without the rememberance and the support more would die because they would be forgotten. They being the soldiers, airmen, seamen and marines that even when the war is done will still be left behind to clean up what is left over.
