Power was officially handed back on 28 June 2004????
Edited on Thu Jan-27-05 02:18 PM by prayin4rain
I was reading an article that linked me to another article from the BBC. The article is talking about 1991 when Bush Sr. bombed Baghdad. Well on the side of the article is an "In Context" blurb. It mentions this war with Dubya and talks about how great and quick the war went. I had to read it several times to be sure what the hell they were talking about. They make this disaster we have going on RIGHT NOW was over and wrapped up almost a year ago.

WTF????!!!!! Creepy.

On 20 March 2003, President George Bush junior led a "coalition of the willing" on an invasion of Iraq with the aim of toppling the Bagdad regime.

Within a month, Saddam Hussein had been ousted and the Americans were claiming victory in the war.

Saddam Hussein was captured alive after several months in hiding in December 2003.

US-led coalition forces ran the country until power was officially handed back on 28 June 2004.

2. These people can't be this stupid.
It is scary to think they really are this simple minded and are just plugging away with their little plans little by little. Is it possible that they really think it is that easy? Mr. President. Iraq is sovereign.---- It is like a cartoon or something.

Make country sovereign. Eat cheese and crackers. Go to sleep.

It makes me wnat to scream.

And apparently, judging by the article, that is how it will go down in history too. Lovely.
