Who Supports the War(s)

[jaguar]

Cairo if I remember correctly earlier this year there was allot of blather about this admin finishing the work of bush serious, to which bush sir angrily replied that he had done all he had set out to do - the specific reason for not invading all of Iraq and removing Saddam was that backing Saddam into a corner would be very dangerous and his replacement, or the collapse of Iraq as a nation state would be far worse. I really don't see what's changed since then. I mean when you have serious figures in the military opposed to the war and many republican elders questioning the wisdom of such a move, you really have to wonder don’t you?

Except for an admin desperate to create a concept of a perpetual war against an abstract enemy to allow draconian rule and political maneuvering space, the second coming of McCarthyism. Very interesting Washington post article a couple of days ago about the shadow legal system being created to deal with 'terrorists', all sounds kind of familiar...

Saddam ignores fundamental UN Resolutions...

and laws eh? That’s kinda funny. So does the US, at least in diplomatic practice.
