Folly and Failure, Bush's Speech Undressed
<http://www.buzzflash.com/contributors/03/09/09_undressed.html>
"They do this not
because Saddam was their ally (In fact Bin Laden declared a holy war to free Kuwait from Saddam during Bush the First’s Gulf War), but because the power vacuum created by his removal has become a harbinger of extremism and violence. Iraq has changed from a land controlled by a dictator, to a battleground, a "central front" in the war against terror, thus
diverting our resources from our battle against the criminals who caused the attacks of September 11th. Instead of curbing Terrorism, we have in fact allowed it to spill over into Iraq.
Freedom Fries," "Old Europe," and "The UN is Irrelevant"… Need I say more? Okay, I will. According to Bush it is the UN’s "Duty" and "Responsibility" to help him out in Iraq, but as you will remember Bush was more than happy to snub our traditional allies and attempt to
delegitimize the UN."

3. But
As we know, a nude Bush is not a beautiful sight. I'm sorry I had to expose you to something like that, but sometimes you have to show the world an ugly thing to get them to find beauty and truth...

4. I know no such thing

I've never gazed upon the naked shrub. But if I had, I'm sure that sight would not be nearly so revolting as the essence of the man as revealed by his words and deeds.

5. True 'Nuff
I guess it is what is inside Gdub's* heart that is sick, not what is on the outside. Even the devil looks good... or something to that effect.
