"To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter-day hero ... assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an un-winnable urban guerilla war. It could only plunge that part of the world into even greater instability"
Now the part you wont believe is that it was said by (pause for dramatic effect) George Bush Sr. in a book called "A World Transformed" from 1998. Man if only his son had listened. You really have to marvel at the insight from the former president but maybe he should have shared this with his son. Just my two cents though.

Because it so very much is funny! I have to laugh at stuff like that just to keep my sanity. Hell, we are already on thin ice anyway!
