1. M ore importantly

Bandar Bush and the rest of the Saudis are Sunni.
Wahabi Sunni, but Sunni none the less.

The next enemy (Iran) is Shiia... like Najaf.

Oh, yeah, don't forget that after GW1, we encouraged these
same people (Shiia) to revolt against Saddam, and Saddam
murdered them by the thousands. They have a lot of reasons
to hate us.

2. I get the feeling we are supporting Allawi
and Allawi's little dictatorship.

Killing his enemies, you know.

He's a Saddamesque murdering thug, but he's the Bushie's murdering thug.

It's all so Stalinist without the communism.

4. and, to make things full circle
Saddam was previously Bushie's murderous thug. So, maybe if Jenna runs for President some day, she can then paint Allawi as a bad man and invade Iraq to depose him?

5. Haha! I can hear Jenna now "We can't let the world's most dangerous
regime get the world's most dangerous weapons, now watch this chug."

3. Who appointed Saddam?
Here's a hint, it was the same people who appointed that murderous thug who kills his own people- Allawi.

6. The Sunni side of the street
Hey, the point was to have our own dictator paid
by U.S. taxpayers, loot and control their resources, set up
American and British bidnesses with cheap Iraqi labor,
build 14 military bases giving us a permanent Middle East
war site.

but we find ourselves in Shiite shape again....
