Bush lowers Iraqi expectations…again

Remember before the invasion, how we were told by President Bush, VP
Cheney and others, that the Iraqi oil revenue would help finance this
war.? That with foreign investment and profits from free-flowing oil, this war
would end up not costing the United States.

Over $400 BILLION dollars later, this rather rosy picture of the situation is the farthest thing from everyone’s mind.

Now, the Bush administration no longer expects
a model democracy, generous oil revenues, or economic and social
freedoms to blossom.? Remind me again why we are there??

Weapons of Mass Destruction?? Nope…
Going after the terrorist that attacked us on 9/11/2001??? No, not really…
Capture Osama Bin Laden?? Nope, not even close really…
Make Western Civilization safer?? Ask London.? No, this doesn’t seem to be working out either.
Bringing a model democracy to the middle east?? No, not so much.

So, please remind me again… Why are we there?

Finally, about those oil revenues.? If they aren’t directly going
to the Iraqi people or infrastructure, exactly WHERE are all of those
$66+ a barrel oil profits going?

Yet, with all of this going wrong.? What does our President have time to focus on?? Well, undoing science and teaching religion in our public schools, of course.? Not to mention, repeatedly getting it wrong regarding the environment.

Let’s not forget that one of President Bush’s top aides, Karl Rove, is being investigated for leaking CIA informant information.?
With all the news lately, this story has slowly been dropped from Page
1, to Page 46… However, the fact remains that their are some
very dishonest and evil people working inside the current
administration.

With everything that has been going on in the past 5 years, I believe
this will be written about in history books as one of the darkest periods
in American history.? Blatant racism against others and a rampant
rise in ignorance seems to only be getting worse and more prevalent.

However, truely my biggest fear is that some people will never see it that way.?
