MODO SAYS, GO!:
Right Axis. Wrong Evil. (MAUREEN DOWD, 7/22/04, NY Times)
President Bush says he's now investigating Qaeda-Iran ties, and whether Iran helped the 9/11 hijackers.Whoops. Right axis. Wrong evil.
It's like Emily Litella - "What's all this fuss I hear about making Puerto Rico a steak?" - except the U.S. can't simply shrug "Never mind" because 900 American troops are dead.
The Bush administration had no good intelligence, so it decided to invade the Ira- that was weaker.
The war was based on phony W.M.D. analyses and fallacious welcome scenarios drummed up by the neocon Chihuahua Ahmad Chalabi.
Mr. Bush should have worried about the Axis of Evil in the order of the threat posed: North Korea, which has nukes; Iran, which almost has nukes; Iraq, which wanted nukes.
"Should have" would appear to put her on board for regime changing the other two members. Posted by Orrin Judd at July 22, 2004 1:46 PM
