Why Are We In Iraq?

The President sent this letter to Congress, and Congress believed him. Nothing in there about freeance and/or peeance. And, assuming the official minutes of a meeting of the British equivalent of our National Security Council are not made up of straight lies (the DSM has been authenticated by the British government and was distributed among high-level British officials), the Bush Administration was guided by their own lust for war, not by intelligence. In short, the intelligence was fixed. In short, war was by no means the "last resort." In short, Bush was not straight with Congress or you and me, dear readers.

Why are we in Iraq?

Perhaps because Bush was dishonest.

It's no wonder folks are talking about impeachment.

Here at 2GL, we think it's a little soon for that sort of talk. We just want an open and transparent (read "independent") investigation into whether the Bush Administration fixed intelligence around its policy of war in Iraq. Seems reasonable, no? Seems fair to want to know why our young men are giving their lives, right? Fair to want to know if this whole thing has been above board?

Or maybe we just want to trash the U.S. Yeah, that must be it.
