...really and truly I don't understand how even Nader can treat the Iraq war as a "mistake" that requires an apology. It was not a mistake...it was not a result of poor strategy, or even of lies...the war against Iraq was a great success, if you understand what it was for and what it WASN'T for...it was never about democracy, or getting rid of Saddam, or about any weapons of any kind...these were all the excuses brought forward at one time or another to mask the real intent.....Nader can't really believe that Bush really believed what he was saying...that we wanted to "save" Iraq and "save" the Iraqi people and spread freedom and the rest of that crap.

..the war on Iraq was INTENDED to make us more enemies,,,it as SUPPOSED to destabilize the region...destabilizing the Mid East has been US POLICY since the 1950s at least....no corporate American has EVER wanted peace in that region.

I just don't get it...I don't understand how Nader, of all people, can argue against Bush, using Bush's proven LIES! The truth is right there, staring us in the face if we'll just admit it.....American corporations benefited mightily from that war and continue to do so....that was the whole point...the point was to continue robbing our Treasury because it's always been more profitable to make war than to make peace...and it's getting more and more that way since Americans can't afford to consume the way they used to...and to have perpetual profits of that astounding sort, you need a perpetual war for which you need global enemies...and since they don't exist you have to CREATE them, like you create consumers at other times...that was the whole point...to wag a finger at Bush and say, "you were wrong..." is to miss the entire point....Bush was RIGHT! The war was a SUCCESS! Business is ROARING...

...now, if we can just help North Korea threaten us with "global war"(maybe help them get some sort of weapon to do it with) we can finally build that fucking STAR WARS MISSILE SHIELD American corporations have been salivating over for decades. That will be a big success because there will be no end of refinements and newer versions...except, we NEED to be THREATENED and THAT's what the war on Iraq was about...we bully around the world threatening, and killing, people as we please until that BLESSED day when some rag-tag Tora Bora guy in sandals hits us BACK! That's US foreign "policy"...and has been for some time.

...where else can a poor Capitalist make THAT much money THAT fast and for THAT long and THAT easily??? What...by making and trying to sell WASHING MACHINES???!!!
