I see now! His highness, Ed thinks there were two separate wars,
rather
than a continuation of the same one. What a jerk!

So what are you saying, George, that we had a 10-year-long half-time
show?

Unless I'm mistaken, the first war was about making Iraq pull back from
their attempted conquest of Kuwait. The second one allegedly was about
taking out supposed chemical, biological, and soon-to-be nuclear weapons
that, somehow, were a direct threat to us.

You seemed to have missed out on the 10 yrs of continual violations of
the Cease Fire agreement. and UN 1441 among others.

Right...George Bush told America we had to go to war because Saddam Hussein
was showing no respect at all for United Nations Resolution Number 1441. And
all of the UN-lovers in the Neocon Party jumped up and shouted, "Damned
right! He can't dis the United Nations and get away with it, by cracky!" g

Or maybe most Americans believed the other story, the one he told us on the
night we invaded. He certainly dissembled the real reason in one speech or
the other. Which one do you suppose it was? The one he told us, about having
to crush Iraq before we wound up fighting the Iraqis on our shores, or the
one he told the UN, about dissing UN resolutions?
