Question About Bush's Iraqi Intentions.
Do you guys think that he and his administration will not take repsonsiblities for their failure (if in fact they do fail), or will they pawn it off on the American public?


The reason I ask this is because I read a report where Cheney said "If the Americans loose interest in this war, then we will loose". So it's our "interest" that will win this war?

1. No, its in their ego's interest that we win
And I think one could safely say that they have failed already. They have turned many countries against us, made Iraq a breeding ground for terrorists, and destroyed our military.

2. Yet have all our money
and will never be touched for anything they've done. I'd call that winning.

3. There is no "win," only "profit."
They didn't go into this war planning to win and they haven't changed their plan since. What they're doing is systematically draining Iraq's coffers and resources, and they know that as long as they're doing that the Iraqis will fight them. They don't care. To them, it's worth American blood and treasure in order to line their own pockets.
