Bush, and those neo-con insiders, who lead him around by the nose. Bis? greatest concern is of the fate of his squadron, not as a result of military deployment, but by being put into an impossible trap by the Shi?ite dominated Maliki Iraqi government, plus an armed reconstituted Sunni control over Anbar Province, a formed Saddam Hussein stronghold, confounding the reasons America was lied into the war into the first place.A more, without rhyme or reason, rationale for our being in this senseless war could not be made up in the wildest imagination, of any story writer.It proves Menken?s quote: 'Many Americans love those who lie to them, while condemning those who tell them the truth..'
