today

The US National debt is now 9 Trillion dollars. 70% of this debt was incurred under the two Bush presidencies and the one Regan presidency.To waste over 6 Trillion dollars is a very expensive way of killing innocent foreigners during peacetime, and at the same time lowering the quality of US social services and reducing the level of security of the US population. And that is all aside from global warming.

In my view, by retrospect Tony Blair should never have believed a word the Nazi war criminal and hypocrite G.W.Bush had said. I, myself, and other outsiders recognised, and mentioned, the problems that Iraq after the US led invasion would have, just as everyone does today. We certainly hoped that the USA would have made some sensible preparations - but no.

Bush has dragged the name of the USA into the sewer. And President Bush has created a (still minor) depression which may however become a major worldwide depression.

General Sir Mike Jackson, brands the American approach "intellectually bankrupt".

Major General Tim Cross, the most senior UK officer involved in the post-war planning, says Washington's policy had been "fatally flawed".

IMO: So bad it is almost unbelievable.
