Hey VH
Why do you waste what is obviously a great deal of inteligence and political insight cooking these things up? It seems like all the lefties on this board are so busy drumming up reasons to hate the current administration and its foreign policy that they have lost sight of the fact that even if it was wrong from the outset we are up to our noses in it now. Do you think we could fust end our involvement today without serious international backlash?
And yes, Iraq would have been possible if OBL were dead since they made the case for war there with the misconception that there were WMDs around. The propaganda would have been something like "well we got one, lets go get another!"
The point is that no matter what anybody thinks or believes WHOEVER is in office is going to drive our contry in what ever direction he or she wants. Now mind you I'm about as conservative as they come but I'm not so close minded to admit that ALL administrations from Washington to Bush #2 have cooked up info and distorted truths in order to sell their policies.
OBL is still alive because to conceal that sort of thing would be suicide for Bush and his money even after he's out of office. We all know these conspiracies, if true, have a way of being blown wide open.
Just my thoughts
