OK OK you win. But you have to admit that the title of the thread lends itself to sarcasm. Now we are holding the place together with bailing wire and trillions of U.S. taxpayer dollars. The dollars are running through Iraq like shit through a goose. Bush's poor diplomatic skills have left us virtually alone. And after the mess he has created he warns the it could be a disaster. Its almost laughable if it weren't so tragic.
