With yesterday’s bombing of one of Shiite Islam’s holiest shrines in Iraq, the common consensus appears to be that Iraq is now on the verge of a full-blown civil war.

In September 2004, intelligence officials at the CIA warned that Iraq could dissolve into civil war over the next 18 months (18 months have now elapsed since the report was revealed). “White House spokesman Scott McClellan, and other White House spokesmen, called the intelligence assessment the work of ‘pessimists and naysayers’ after its outlines were disclosed by the New York Times.

One letter to the editor referred to Bush as "a mental midget," but I give him more credit than that. Rather than admitting his mistakes, he's attacked those who accused him of having made them, while being backed up by others of his ilk.
In addition to what the war with Iraq has already cost us in terms of lives, finances and world respect, we continue to spend $10 billion monthly on what he's hyped as being a noble cause, while allowing people in other parts of the world to starve to death -- not to mention the needs of people in our country.
