• There used to be a simpler time, when if somebody bombed you, you got your dander up and you went and beat their asses stupid.  When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, America went after JAPAN.  So nice and simple.  Now, Japan bombed a military target and was a fumbled message away from declaring war before they did it, and we dropped TWO nukes on their ass.  Conversely, no bombs have dropped on Saudi Arabia or Egypt, the two countries whose citizens killed 3,000-ish civilians in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania.
• Most, absolutely 90% of the people of Iraq still refer to us as 'invaders'.  Ouch.  Maybe some people don't really want freedom?  I believe that.  Not that we're delivering freedom, but a velvet Elvis on every other Iraqi wall couldn't do any harm.
• "Saddam Hussein is a homicidal dictator who is addicted to weapons of mass destruction...If we know Saddam Hussein has dangerous weapons today -- and we do -- does it make any sense for the world to wait to confront him as he grows even stronger and develops even more dangerous weapons? " -G.W. Bush, 07OCT02.   D'OH!
• By invading Iraq, we violated the 'Top Gun' Rule, which every good cowboy in history emulated: "You may not fire until fired upon".  At least in 1991, they had attacked somebody.
• Invading Iraq after being attacked by Saudi Arabia and Egypt feels like invading some dinky southeast asian country to bring down Communism.
• "Some citizens wonder, after 11 years of living with this problem (Saddam Hussein's regime), why do we need to confront it now? And there's a reason. We've experienced the horror of September the 11th. We have seen that those who hate America are willing to crash airplanes into buildings full of innocent people." -G.W. Bush 07OCT02.  D'OH!
• Nearly three thousand American and foreign civilians were killed on September 11, 2001 by SAUDI ARABIANS and EGYPTIANS.
• We are in a coalition with the likes of Eretria, Fiji, and El Salvador, whose 380 special forces troops haven't stolen as much American firepower as they'd like, nor learned all the tactics they will use against us when we inevitably invade them.  Meanwhile, of the original 34 'willing' members, SIXTEEN have become willing to take every one of their troops home.  Some didn't even bother to get their parking validated.  Others, like Hungary, adopted a phased withdrawal of one day.
• We gave the French the finger because they disagreed with us, but we buddied up with Italy, last seen supporting Hitler.  Freedom Fries, the choice of lowbrow douchebags everywhere.
• Of the nineteen SAUDI ARABIANS and EGYPTIANS who attacked America on 9/11, not one was an IRAQI.
• Abu Ghraib.  D'OH!
• There are no fewer than 20 countries in the world where mass genocide is a daily reality, and we have invaded none of them, except Afghanistan, which means 'Perpetually invaded by somebody or other' in Arabic.
• 'Mission Accomplished'.  D'OH!
• A president who couldn't bother to show up to FLY A BADASS FIGHTER JET for the Arkansas National Guard is formulating the military strategy.  Damn, George, most people would show up, and sober at that, to FLY A BADASS FIGHTER JET, even in Arkansas.  This fact makes the flight-suit-clad Bush making the 'Mission Accomplished' speech even more pathetic.  Admit it, you wince just thinking about it.
• Iraqi terrorists, insurgents, soldiers, whatever, have blown up exactly zero World Trade Center towers.  SAUDI and EGYPTIAN terrorists, however, have blown up two.
• There are something like 400 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.  Everyone of them that was innocent going in is a terrorist now.  When you ask yourself, 'If these guys are terrorists, why not make them very public, announce their offenses to all?  Why not tell of their heinous crimes in the court of world opinion?' , it's a good question.
• When America decided on it's future, 13 colonies compromised their wishes to gain independence and freedom for all.  The French helped us, even though we didn't blow any of them up with IEDs or call their much-needed navy 'the invaders'.  When Iraq is deciding it's future 2 factions are compromising nothing, blowing everyone including each other up, and generally trying to wipe out everyone without the proper ideological 'all access' pass.  Interestingly, no one seems to cry 'infidel' when the 'extremist' homeboys blow up a mosque.  The prevailing 'extremists' will then turn on the Kurds.   Yeesh.
• Seven 'extremists', all but one of which was 'Saudi Arabian', 'escaped' from a Saudi Arabian-run 'high-security' prison.  D'OH!
• You have no idea what winning in Iraq means, but you know we need to do it.  D'OH!
