"Miscalculation"
George W. Bush said today that invading Iraq
was a “miscalculation” on his part.

Calculate these:

16,000 war troops injured in Iraq
1,000 dead soldiers
Torture at Abu Ghraib
CIA disputes Iraq and Afghanistan ties
Billions missing in Iraq oil revenues
Deaths of scores of mercenaries unreported
Occupiers spend billions on private armies
$200 billion allocated in spending in Iraq
$8.8 billion missing
Iraqis who hated Saddam hate Americans more
Israel trains assassination squads in Iraq
Richard Perle admits invasion of Iraq “illegal”
Iraqi farmers threaten resistance after US flattens plantations
U.S admits to holding 10,000 prisoners
Gitmo Bay holds detainees indefinitely without representation
Jessica Lynch’s big lie
Rape
Halliburton’s overcharges

(many of these are articles and columns from
http://www.notinourname.net/war/archive.htm
I'm sure some industrious and creative writers
can make something of this and an ad or two
of Bush saying this over the pictures of
coffins or facts would be relevant)



(add to the list of "missed calculations")

3. Even that may be false.
There may not have been a plot against Poppy. It may be another part of Chalobi's efforts for us to take out Sadam for Iran.

2. Thought I'd bump this

The spy case is a news header but I still
think this comment by Bush will have more
resonance with the voters...especially
with military families.
