re: #266 Killgore Trout

Al Gore campaigned on Bush being weak on Iraq. It’s always hard to tell but Iraq was probably inevitable. I wasn’t a big fan of the war but thinking about what Iraq would be like today if Saddam were still around with Iran’s nuclear program. Saddam’s response to Arab spring would make assad look like a saint. There were no good choices.

Perhaps. But our leadership *lying* it’s case and ignoring the post-war implications because they didn’t have the political capital to sell and carry out an effective policy is what pissed me off. They built that morass.
