So what did we bomb in Iraq?

[DoYouEverWonder]

Bush & Co were flying daily missions in Iraq for many months before the invasion. Supposedly we were bombing every possible target.


Then we had Shock and Awe,




yet the Green Zone was in good enough shape for the US to move right in as soon as we got there?






Why was so much of Iraq's infrastructure still in tack?

How come sites like Tuwaitha




and Al QaQaa weren't flattened?



How come Bush didn't commit troops to these sites as soon as we took Baghdad?

If the main reasons for invading Iraq was because Saddam had WMD's and we feared that he was arming al Qaeda, then these sites should have been top priorities. Instead we sent in a few troops, who broke the locks and opened the barn doors so the insurgents could help themselves. Then we went away and ignored these places for the next 1.5 years?

How many Americans have died because of Bush and the DOD and their blatant incompetence? How many more people will they kill before they are done?

1. The Poppy floor in the bagdad Hilton was dismantled

W got his political capital., Dick his contracts, Rummy got to be called "sexy" by the media, Ashcroft enlarged his pool of people to be tortured, Powell did his song and dance at the UN - it was grand!

2. You ... you ...

You just hate America! You hate our freedom! You're denigrating the troops, you unpatriotic lying swine! It's not the President's job to plan the thing! You'll say anything to get Kerry elected!

</sarcasm>

You are asking the relevant questions everyone who hasn't swilled the neo-con Koolaide wants answered. Good on ya, mate!
