Bush And The War With Iraq

Have you heard of the Downing Street Memo?
Basically, the Downing Street Memo is a top secret document, published internally within the British government, which says that the evidence against Saddam Hussein was completely trumped up, thus proving the illegitimacy of the war in Iraq. Proving that the facts were manipulated to fit the situation, and proving the war-mongering tendencies of president Bush. It says that President Bush had already decided to invade Iraq long before 9/11. If you haven't heard about it yet, you soon will.
The Main Stream (Leftist) Media considers this to be THE smoking gun that they have been looking for.
THEY knew all along that the war against Iraq was wrong. THEY knew it was immoral. THEY knew that they were right, and the illegitamate, selected/not elected President Bush and all his minions were wrong, and you can believe that they will take up this drum and beat it ad-nauseum. (Remember the Bush-National Guard memo story??)
Here's the thing though - real or not, true or not, I don't care.
The truth is that we had unfinished business in Iraq. Saddam Hussein should have been removed from power during the FIRST Gulf War. The only reason he wasn't removed then was that the United Nations begged us not to do it. They wanted to be the ones who got the credit for riegning him in. "Let the sanctions work!!" they cried. Meanwhile, he got to continue to build multi-million dollar palaces, dig bunker complexes and pursue various weapons systems for eleven more years, while the people of Iraq starved and suffered. He ignored SEVENTEEN specific U.N. resolutions against him, while he sold oil vouchers to the leaders of all the U.N nations which opposed us during the run-up to the current action in Iraq. He continued to drop people into plastic shredders, chop off limbs, rape, torture and kill his own people.
The U.N did nothing about any of this except talk about it.
"Stop it, or we will be forced to tell you to stop it again!"
Why is the U.S. still in the U.N. anyway? What have they done for us lately? Am I wrong to assume that with any partnership, there should be some mutual benefit for both parties? They do nothing but soak up money, and continuously attack our national sovreignty. Every last nation in the U.N. (with the possible exception of Great Britain) is jealous of our power, our success, our affluence. France is trying desperately to prove that they are still relevant and still important, Russia is still upset about the whole "cold war" thing, and China is actively ramping up to engage us in open warfare. Why continue to associate with an organization that has such distaste for us? I'm all for taking our football and going home. Enough of this stupidity.
I will never believe that Iraq had absolutely no weapons of mass destruction. If we haven't found them yet, it is only because the U.N. stalled long enough for Hussein to hide them, destroy them, and/or move them out of the country (to Syria?) Who knows, if they could only have stalled a couple more years, maybe Iraq could have developed a nuclear weapon, and then things would have been a lot more interesting.
North Korea already has tested their nuke, and China can now orbit an ICBM with enough range to target the U.S. homeland ( Thank you president Slick Willie.)
Make no mistake. This is not a war about oil. If it was, we would have nuked Bhagdad on the first day and enslaved the Iraqi people immediately. If Bush wanted to lie about WMD's, he would have shipped containers of them over with the first round of troops, and littered the Iraqi countryside with them for all of the reporters to photograph. The fact that Michael Moore is still alive is proof that President Bush is an honest and moral man.(Have you seen the Clinton Death List??)
So publish whatever little piece of paper you happen to find lying around. As long as it makes logical sense to do so, I will continue to give President Bush the benefit of the doubt.
