This was written by a reporter for the quite conservative Wall Street Journal.  After it was leaked, it was announced she would be on vacation until after the elections. 

I guess when Bush talks about Iraq being safer than ever, he means a different Iraq than the one on this planet.  Maybe his plan was to bring Al-Qaeda to a place where they might be easier to spot, since they're busy killing people in the open.  If you give them an American target in their own backyard, they're way too busy with that, to bother attacking the homeland right?  He's right, I do feel safer, since I'm past the age of being draft eligable.

That is pretty much what I was thinking too.


But we all have to remember that the mission is accomplished and that everything in Iraq is going very well. Well for whom? IMO, I would say well for Al Quida and well for the people willing to kill others-and it doesn't matter who the "others" are that they are willing to kill. What a fine mess Dubya got us (and the world) into. Do I feel "safer" because Saddam is out of power? Not no, but H3LL NO!!!

This is truely a mess, but not a surprise.  This is exactly what I predicted before the invasion started.

One has to wonder what the long game is really about.......

I can answer that with one word...

OIL

Anyv questions?

I was thinking about accepting a position as a highly paid(and I mean VERY highly paid) private contractor in Iraq. But after reading that, maybe I should reconsider. I mean, is it really worth all that trouble?

I work for a company that does gov't work, and nothing but gov't work.  One of the leaders of our division came up last week to talk about various projects, and mentioned that he was glad we didn't appear to win one of our contracts that would have required us to send instructors over there, since he didn't know how (or want to) ask people to go over there.  When gov't contractors don't even want to cash in on something, you know something isn't right with the situation. My wife told me that if the situation were ever to arise where they asked me, I'd be tendering my resignation (not that it ever would, I ALWAYS stay in the local office, no travel for me).

And we all see how that's going. Could explain why gas rose two cents again yesterday. ::)

It doesn't matter how much you pay for your gasoline, all that matters is that Bush's buddies get to be the ones who sell it. Until the invasion, the French and the Russians were Iraq's biggest customers.  I wonder why they protested the invasion?

Personally, I think the high gas prices are artificial. The oil refineries are making out like bandits with these high prices-and who owns the refineries? You guessed it-Duyba's buddies.

I hope they choke on the six cents that raised gas prices from $2.27 to $2.33 overnight. :)
