I'm very glad you like my funny songs. This gives us common ground. Apparently, though, it is the only common ground. You are reciting discredited talking points up and down, and you are WRONG about them. They are not facts. They are nothing more than BushCo's wishful thinking. They have been disproven a gazillion ways from Sunday, and you only have to Google to find that out. The only places that contend otherwise are those that fervently support BushCo, e.g., RedState, LGF, Townhall.
I am not rewriting any facts. I don't have to. The reason that report is dated 2002 is to make a point which you apparently don't grasp: THE INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE WELL BEFORE THE START OF THE INVASION, before Colin Powell's disgusting lie session at the U.N.
Somehow, I really don't think you want to get into the last hundred years of British/American/etc. imperialism in the Middle East.
Yeah, the Iraqis stalled 'em. Until they let them in.
They let them in. They were not happy. BUT THEY FUCKIN' LET THEM IN.
This WAS a war of first choice. It was against an "enemy" which had not attacked us and which could not attack us. It was done pretty much on our own, with such bold military powers as Poland and Lichtenstein helping out. The biggest ally was Great Britain, and his sucking up to Dubya is costing Tony Blair his career.
And, WHY do you insist on comparing WW2 with this deployment? They are not the same. Not in any way. How can you compare full frontal assault against a major military power with house-to-house fighting against guerillas?
Oh, yeah. Losing strength and vigor (http://tinyurl.com/3c5fz3). I believe the phrase you're looking for is "last throes".
You can't make me see what isn't fucking there. I can't force you to actually pay attention to well-documented facts and the debunkings of cruel lies told by greedy and power-hungry men. I can't make you an analyst, a realist, or even someone who has a clue about what is going on.
All I can do is show you the truth -- not as I see it, but as it is documented and verified.
