The Real Reason We''re In Iraq: An influential group of conservatives convinced President George W. Bush that it was in America''s best interests to conquer Iraq as a first step toward dominating the oil-producing nations in the Middle East. There was no "exit plan" because we never intended to exit. The plan was, and is, to build military bases in Iraq and stay there forever. Our leaders also see Iraq as a place to make money. So Bush & Co. have set up their friends to cash in on the rebuilding of Iraq.

Oh my... it''s another "blame Clinton" robot. If that''s the case, then why didn''t Bush go after the perpetrators of the U.S.S. Cole bombing? And let''s not forget the memo Bush received "Bin Laden determined to attack U.S.", which he swept aside like an old Sunday comic strip.

All, these failures occurred under the Clinton Administration. Why, because he was a coward of infinite proportion, his administration starved the military and the CIA of needed budget dollars. Bill Clinton was too busy looking for his next BJ instead of dealing with the threats this nation faced. Had he done his job, maybe Bin Laden would be in jail and 3,000 Americans would still be alive and we would not be in Iraq today.
