Doesn't matter, its $100/barrel now no matter where you pump it out of the ground.. They are rich beyond their wildest dreams, Bush is their patron saint, and we are footing the bill.

But we haven't won - ExxonMobile still doesn't control the oil.

As Bush said, those 4,000 lost lives have "laid the foundations for peace."

Look on the bright side folks.

We've only got 95 more years of occupation to finish up. And then Americans won't be getting killed in Iraq!

See? I'm so mad about this idiotic war, the fools who went along with it, and the fools who allow it to continue, that I can't even spell conscience right.

Can any rational, thinking person imagine that Jefferson and Madison and Co. would have been anything but appalled by the abusive and incompetent governing that's taken place under Bush and Cheney? I have to say, people these days are cut of a different cloth than those guys were - and that's as far from a compliment as our executive branch is from having a consience.

Excellent post.

It hardly seems worth it to have killed as many or more Iraqis in 5 years as Saddam did in over 20.

Some really good points there, and I couldn't agree more. 5 years into things and Baghdad is still without reliable water and electricity. Lets get the hell outta there and let the Iraqi's settle things. Sure, we are likely to get an anti-American theocracy after a bloodbath, but at least Iraq will be a nation again instead of dozens of factions. We can get to work on repairing things at that point and hopefully working to stabilize things diplomatically at that point.

And no, I don't think it was worth it.
