Gadhafi. Here is a known terrorist head of state, known for at least one mass murder in the blowing up of a airliner over Scotland, and he is being heralded as reformed and a good guy. He buys pipes and centrifuges used in the development of nuclear weapons and then "comes clean." And the world - particularly the Bush administration - says, "see, this is what happens when you show the world you will not tolerate makes of weapons of mass destruction." They say Iraq is responsible for the makeover.

No it's not. It's oil. Europe wants Algerian oil and needed a way to "forgive" Algeria.

It's always about oil. That is why we are in Irag. It is why Gadhafi gets to pose with the English Prime Minister shaking hands. Blair smiles like Gadhafi is a long lost brother. Blair is such a PIMP! How do the English people tolerate that twerp. Probably the same way the American people tolerate Bush. If it does not affect their lives PERSONALLY, then they don't want to upset the apple cart.

Well, here is a link about how the Iraqi Intrusion has affected lives personally.

I know no one's reading this but me . . . but someone might accidently stumble over this blog. This is a horrific story about the wounds of soldiers in Irag, many of who are being returned to the U.S. alive but with wounds that easily would have claimed their lives in prior wars. And the wounds often involve the head. The soldiers are being returned alive - so they don't so up on the KIA reports - but without chucks of their brains. As one of the military doctors is quoted: "They are alive, but not quite like they once were."

It makes me sick. This war must end.
