Both the US and the French had such big swollen heads that it was ignored, not even looked at. Neither one could get past their pride French Non, US we want war now. This is what an American friend told me.

Anyway the past is the past. We must now look to the present and future so let us stop arguing about the reasons for starting the war right or wrong (but let us not forget what was said).

Now a current question is why is Rumsfield lying again? "The looting is not that bad we keep seeing one person looting a vase over and over again". What crap! Why does he have to understate the obvious and continue to lie about the situation at hand? Could one of you guys give him a pie to the face, that is what we do up here to lying officials.
I am jealous of Animal [img]smile.gif[/img] , everyone is ignoring the question "On why is Rumsford lying again?"

I have no problems with the US deciding to invade Iraq to take out Saddam. My main problem was integrity, I didn't believe it was about WoMD. I didn't believe it was the motives of Pearle, and the more I hear of Rumsford the more manipulative he seems. You can not get my support when I feel lied to.

Anyway the past is the past. We must now look to the present and future so let us stop arguing about the reasons for starting the war right or wrong. I don't know if integrity means anything anymore but to me it is important and builds trust. I would think the current problem is restoring order, Bagdad looks like a city in revolt in the Civ 3 game. Many Iraqies are saying "I have welcomed the Americans but we need to restore order because I fear for my kids. At least under Saddam we were save as long as towed the line." I think restoring order and protecting people from stray shooters, and looters is important don't you? Else everything you worked for may go in the toilet.

I agree 100% with you. The Iraqis are no better off now than a month ago, but for Rumsfeld to say that it's no problem is complete BS. For once I'd like to hear some honesty from a politician.
