Perry, thanks for giving me the chance to argue against a completely different asinine viewpoint than the conspiracy nuts. You’re claiming that now that the US is in charge, corruption is a big problem in Iraq? I know you had no interest in the country besides what fraction of its problems can be blamed on Republicans, but Saddam was actually not terribly ethical. You blame ethnic strife in the country on Bush? What do you call the slaughter of 100000 Shia by the Sunni government in 1991, or the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Shia soldiers in their war with Iran? Whose fault are the assassinations in Lebanon, or the civil war there? Whose fault is the violence between Fatah and Hamas? Are you aware there were terrorists even before Bush took office? That the 9/11 plot started before Bush took office?
Whose fault was the 1979 Islamic Revolution?

Bush has made mistakes, like every government ever, like everyone besides geniuses like salo_t, to whom I must now sacrifice a goat since the football game is over.

You fault Bush for what you think is a bad strategy, now you fault him for reconsidering the strategy. So much for coherence. Your posts are an embarrassment.
