So what? They have all known. The only to "have not known" is the American public. Would that make a difference? Sweet bliss and enough gas for the SUV's, that's all that matters; no, that wouldn't have made a difference. Four thousand and countless wounded soldiers later, consider the fact that the same oil could have been purchased in the world market without the loss of a single soldier. What a terrible thought!

Look at Nixon's merry men today (those who are alive, anyway). Today's Bush Poodles will probably go the same route. There will be those who die without apology or rehabilitation (John Mitchell), those who write books of apology and become political moralists (John Dean), those who find Jesus (Chuck Colson), and a few who will maintain forever they were right (G. Gordon Liddy). Which poodles will fill which roles? Could be a fun parlor game.

Now every man needs his woman to keep him warm at night. If Bush let's his Connie go I bet there's another woman in waiting. It's the way the Bush Family works ask Barbara Bush. She has no problem with Daddy Bush sleeping with his mistress and running after Terry Hatcher while lady Barbara just bakes cookies.
