The last time I heard those facts were out out of that nut Coulter claiming that nothing was going wrong in Iraq.

 

I see this was done in Febuary by those polls.

I think this would be really awesome if it were happening in America. We're cutting budgets for schools all over the country, but at least the Iraqis get to have a bunch of new ones!

So if I suck up to my rich pricky grandfather, I'm not in it for the money when he dies?

 

We're doing a lot of relatively great stuff...I mean, it is hard to do worse than Saddam. However, this has nothing to do with the motives of war, and personally I do not think it was about the oil...but this doesn't prove that.

If only those things were true...

That means a lot. :whistle

It's a good thing Bush ran in 2000 under the platform for not "nation building." I would hate having to see innocent young americans die for school desks. GWB the ultimate flip flopper.
