    Another Forgotten Biggie

    Another forgotten biggie, not only by the amnesiac President, but by most commentators is that just a few weeks before the unlawful, immoral, and ill-advised invasion with our "shock and awe" murderous weapons, there were over 5 Million people in the streets on the same day saying the same thing. Yet the administration still feels free to say that "everyone" thought there were WMDs that necessitated the invasion.

    Also, almost every country except our few puppets were against our invasion. One cannot say that the administration had overwhelming support or facts or figures to justify. Bush was hell-bent to go months before Powell convinced him to at least try to go to the UN (where Powell lost all his integrity and respect by following the wishes of his self-serving Commander-In-Chief).
