Ok, fair enough. But, somehow I:
Have trouble imagining a
worse administration (public opinion and many historians bear this out)
Can't imagine anyone else would have given up the search for Bin Laden and the chance for success in Afghanistan to invade Iraq.
If you read Clarke's book, you saw him quote Rumsfeld, Bush and Cheney on September 12, 2001, looking for a way to tie 9/11 to Iraq. Repeatedly, and for weeks thereafter. Just read the 1st chapter. He spent many hours telling them that Iraq had 0 to do w/it.
(Rumsfeld: "But Iraq has better targets..")
If you knew what the neocons had been saying for years about Iraq, you'd know that they had a fixation with it.
As Kerry (& most others in the world) did not share these illusions and delusions, it is a remarkably safe bet that almost no one else would've taken their eyes off the true target for such weak, stupid reasons.
This admin was a "perfect storm" of incompetence, stupidity, hubris, scandal, cronyism, greed and incuriousness. I maintain that only this group of criminal-like people could've gotten us into this position.
So, I stand by my statement. And, my actions. I actually thought about my voting.
Would that you guys had done the same....all of us would have been better off. THAT is why I'm asking you to be extra careful this time. It seems that this time will be no more analytical or researched than last. We cannot afford that.
