Why haven't any of the pundits asked this question? Or, given their right wing leanings, perhaps they could ask "Should we have given the inspections more time?"

They're missing the Big Story which is how the US is perceived AND trusted by the rest of the world. I've noticed that a few Dems have tried to steer the conversation this way but I think that it's going to take US writing and harrassing to get the real story out.

3. Thanks, I think

Should we press the press on this or not?

4. Disarming Iraq was never the point

PNAC

Control of Oil

Corporate Contracts

That was always the point. There was never any real threat to the U.S.

5. Yes, they were right.

So were the millions of people around the world who marched in the streets in opposition to the US led illegal attack on Iraq.

6. The Fench told us to stay out of Vietnam - we didn't listen.

Now they told us to stay out of war in Iraq. We haven't learned.

200 troops killed, over a thousand injured.

7. Joschka Ficher told Rummy

on live television that he simply didn't believe the evidence US was presenting.

I'd like to see that played again.

And again, and again, and again...

8. You can see it again and again and again...
