Where is?
Where is Bin laden?
Where is Hussein?
Where is the coalition that Dubya promised both the US Congress and the UN he would get before he attacked Iraq?
Where are the WMD?
Where is one sign that Hussein was an imminent threat to the US?
Where is an intelligence agent who thought that there was an allegiance between bin laden and Hussein? bin laden labeled Hussein as being a bad, socialistic, Muslim, so this makes no sense, doesn’t it?
Where are the Iraqis who would greet us as liberators?
Where is Iraqi satisfaction with US-installed interim governing council? The Sunni Arabs in Iraq have been “shortchanged” by the Americans, especially with regard to the US-installed interim governing council, Sheikh Ahmed Al Kubaisi, head of the Iraqi Muslim Ulema Front. His quote, “Because most of the armed resistance takes place in Sunni areas, the Americans deprive the Sunnis of their legitimate right to have an equal say in their country’s affairs,” does not sound like the Sunnis are happy. “The US forces were abusing the basic human rights of the Iraqis. “We are being humiliated in our homeland,” he added, “I urge the American to change their behaviour immediately.”
Otherwise, he declared, he and others will call for “an armed resistance” to drive the Americans out. So far, he has refrained from supporting the sporadic armed attacks against the US forces, but said his position may change soon.
“When I first returned to Baghdad, I said the Americans had one year to fix things and leave; however, I don”t see any practical steps in this direction,” he said. “Time is running out.” When asked if he was to declare “war” again the Americans next April, when the one-year ultimatum ends, he said: “Of course, what else can we do to end an occupation that seems to want to last 60 years?”
Where is one intelligence agent that didn’t tell Dubya that he would be going into a quagmire when he occupied Iraq? The most obvious source, Poppy, didn’t want to destabilize the area when he attacked Iraq just 12 years ago, and that was his stated reason for not going after Hussein. Is Dubya so “lacking of intellectual curiosity” that he could not even understand this?
Where is Poppy’s “honor and dignity”; was he unethical in 1991? The first President Bush incited both the Kurds of the northern Iraq and the Shia of the south to revolt against Saddam Hussein at the end of the 1991 Gulf War, but both groups were betrayed when US forces did not support them. Why would Dubya, Poppy’s apple fall far from the tree?
By the way, before any of this buildup to the war, when Rove was beginning his plan to win the 2002 mid-term with his cheerleader Dubya attacking Democrats as being in league with bin laden, there were many articles which suggested that attacking Iraq would become a mess. Gwynne Dyer’s article in that time frame, “What If Iraq's Sunnis Decide to Put Up a Real Fight This Time?”, seemed to be prescient didn’t it? One quote about the end of the 1991 Gulf War, “The U.S. decision to stop after freeing Kuwait was based largely on the assessment that these mostly Sunni Arab troops, and especially the Republican Guards divisions, would fight for Saddam, and that the American casualties involved in a further campaign to dig the Iraqi leader out of his bunker in central Baghdad would be unacceptably high.”
Where is one sane person who doesn’t think that all 3 segments of Iraq don’t remember 1991, all of the intervening years of economic sanctions, which decimated the majority of the country, and don’t hate the US?
Where is one, among all of our former allies, who sympathized with us over 9-11, who doesn’t loath Dubya?
Where is the respect of the world for the US?
Where is “Honor and dignity in the White House”?
Where is the filter that Dubya says is blocking the positive news from Iraq from reaching the US populace?
Where is one truthful reason behind the scam for allegedly switching control of the
