It's would be somewhat understandable if it was two or three years ago. But, too many diversions, distractions, and outright lies have occurred since that time to not know the truth about this guy. By now, you should know he lied on purpose about the reasons for invading Iraq. There were no WMDs that threatened us or his neighbors. There was no threat from a mushroom cloud. Saddam was not an imminent threat to us or anyone. But your guy, Bush, had his mind set and it was not going to be changed.

They were somewhat successful at changing the reasons for the war, I will confess. So, by very slick propaganda, they were able to convince people that WMDs were not really that important - we were there to create a "democracy" for these people, so that they could experience the same freedom and liberty that we experience here in America. But, now, they're ready to change that reason also! Mr Bush says we will be happy if they are simply a stable and free country. No longer is he looking for a "democracy".

So the question is, if you're still supporting Mr Bush and this war, why? It is not about any of the things we were told and now 800 of our men and women have died and thousands seriously wounded. Untold thousands of Iraqis have died and continue to suffer. There is a time we come to the realization that what is "good" for our country is not necessarily "good" for the American people. If you are still supporting George W Bush or this "war", then you are beyond help.

1. It appears
more and more each passing day, that nothing coming out of the whitehouse can be taken for its face value.

3. Kentuck, they have swallowed the Big Lie, its of little use
only a handful have awakened from their coma induced by pub misdirections and brainwashing.

The hard core will cling to their Bush Masters like flies on shit.

But I applaud the effort, its better than nothing. We are all here for the same result but most of us are speaking to the choir.
