   Not bad they’ve only had 3 years to write it, note the early quote from W. Big proclaiment but no details I agree with Anti Warhol.

   I wonder how much of this was written last night. “Let’s brew the coffee baby! We’ve got to win this war so those heathen democrats don’t take power and destroy God”

   I hope someone looks this document over with a fine-toothed comb, and finds all the blatant revisionism.

   “The United States has no intention of determining the precise form of Iraq’s new government. That choice belongs to the Iraqi people. Yet, we will ensure that one brutal dictator is not replaced by another. All Iraqis must have a voice in the new government, and all citizens must have their rights protected.

   Rebuilding Iraq will require a sustained commitment from many nations, including our own: we will remain in Iraq as long as necessary, and not a day more.”

   Hmmm… I thought inspectors were still in Iraq during February, but George Bush is already assuming we’re going to war (in March). Seems like he made up his mind without the evidence. I thought this war was one of last resort.

   Hillary Clinton Defends Pro-War Vote
   “It is time for the president to stop serving up platitudes and present us with a plan for finishing this war with success and honor,” she wrote.

   Success and honor? What fantasy world is she living in?

   a hapless, feckless, lame-brained ’strategy’ that has no rhyme nor reason.

   the only plan is to get out.

   a clueless executive branch stumbles on hopelessly through the mist.

   they don’t know when to quit.

   A comprehensive strategy isn’t effective years after you’ve invaded, occupied, destroyed, stolen, disenfranchised and lied throughout to get there. The Iraqi people aren’t stupid, they know what the Bushies are after and claiming that it’s all about fighting terrorists and spreading freedom and democracy is a hollow, dishonest and frankly very stale message.

   It’s too late. Give them their country back, stop spending our treasure on a big lie and most importantly stop using American kids as pawns in your geopolitical fantasies.

   More propaganda and public relations disguised as a solution. Bush isn’t just a lame duck, he’s a dead duck. Do us all a favor Shrubby, step down and let the grownups take it from here.

    The document was prepared by Karl Rove, Andrew Card and others on the WH staff in the last three or four days.

    The slick cover has a printers mark dated 2005. Once again bushlandia hopes to pull the wool over the eyes of Americans.
