now that the bushies have admitted to making mistakes about iraq, especially in the aftermath, but who knows, maybe they thought saddam was going to fight harder too. there were reports out that had the two coming to some kinda agreement, but i don't know. however, given the history of what we've laid witness to already, i wouldn't put it past these sick bastards. look at how they're handling osama. nobody's heard from him for months, probably as long as iraq has been happening. which makes you wonder. the paks are to hand him up in october. everybody's layin odds on what day. i say the 18th. why? i have NO idea. it's close enough to the election so that the lapdog obedient presscorp won't get bored with their excitement. isn't it strange how osama will win george the election.

but still, why is nobody looking at WHY they thought the iraqis would be throwing flowers instead of bullets. whatever gave them this impression must have made a BIG impression since they obviously ignored the right advice about needing more troops. i'm sure that had we done 3 things differently in iraq, things wouldn't be this bad, if bad at all.

1. make sure the soldiers are trained in how arabs live. this would alleviate the occupation conundrum.

2. make sure the money FOR IRAQIS that has been requested, and received, from congress GETS SPENT on things FOR IRAQIS. and while we're at it, EMPLOY IRAQIS to do it.

3. get rid of the neocon men behind the curtain.
