P.B.S. FRONTLINE aired a documentary on 2/26/04 , that offered new insight into the war in Iraq. I seems that Ashcroft & Wolfowitz "over-ruled" Pentagon experts regarding the number of troops to deploy. Previous experiences in Kosovo showed that FAR greater numbers of troops were needed to invaed & secure Iraq. Such shortages put American troops in grave danger, and created the resulting chaos, anarchy & looting following the in vasion. Often , American troops were "out-of-fuel"& ammunition, and suffering from severe lack-of-sleep. On more than one occassion, "dumb-luck" resulted in American battle-victories. ( the capture of the Saddam airport occured when American troops were obscured by smoke & noise from nearby battles, & un-observed by sleeping Iraqi troops. They awoke to find also-sleeping American troops within yards of them). The Bush administration believed that Iraqi troops would "Lay down their weapons, and greet us as liberators". Such bragadosio & obvious posturing is exident in the quotes: " Bring em on!", and "Axis of Evil". It seems that George is truly "clueless", and chooses to imitate John Wayne & the Texas Rangers. And, incidentally, what ever happened to the investigation of the "White House leak" that disclosed the identity of a C.I.A. operative; the wife of an ambassador who divulged the LIES about "Yellow-cake uranuim" being shipped to Iraq??? Treason is a "capital-offense", punishable by death!!! The investigation has slipped into obsurity, by such issues as "same-sex-marriages" . Ther are FAR MORE IMPORTANT matters than Gay-marriages to consider: "incompetance, fiscal-irresponsibility, disregard of international-law, erosion of the Constitution & the Bill Of Rights, etc. Yet the Republican Congress chooses to concen itself with Janet Jackson's breast, and "obscene" language on T.V. & radio. It seems that their priorities are VASTLY out of order!! John Ashcroft spent tax-dollars to cover the exposed breast of Lady Justice in front of the Supreme Court.../ Are these people MORON??? Every one has breasts... GET OVER IT!!! WE MUST TAKE BACK OUR GOVERNMENT FROM "GEORGE-THE-LESSER, PRETENDER-TO-THE-THRONE"; AND THE CORPORATE SPECIAL-INTERESTS THAT CONTROL IT !! IF YOU THINK "WHAT DIFFERENCE CAN I MAKE??? " JUST REMEMBER THAT GHANDI & MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. WERE EACH JUST: "ONE MAN"..
