The Mark(ings) of Zorro
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
H.L. Mencken

Remember, you heard it here a long time ago
 
I said before we launched the invasion of a soveriegn nation and I said while the war was being prosecuted that there would be no cache of "weapons of mass destruction" found. At most Iraq[corrected 4/30/03; tks Crys] had the capability to produce small amounts of chemical agents and even smaller amounts of biological material. It had no capability to produce nuclear weapons. Saddam might have really, really wanted all the above "toys", but wanting and having (as the rest of the adults in this world know) are two different things.
 
So, I still want to know from my President just exactly why my fellow citizens had to die over this past month...and why a lot more of them are going to die as a consequence of this invasion. If he had said, in the beginning, that we were doing this to protect the human rights of the Iraquis, I would have accepted it. But he couldn't because he was one of the loudest critics of Bill Clinton when he went into both Somalia and Bosnia for that very reason. As far as I'm concerned, the Republican Party and our defacto president are hoist on their own petard. If the Dems don't make true hay out of this, then shame on them.
