Iraq War: 101 by Professor Dubya.

Now pay attention, liberal kiddies. Put your protest signs down and close your mouths for just a few minutes as our great President reminds you why it is we're in Iraq. It seems that with all your screeching and temper-tantrum-throwing you've forgotten. Or maybe you've chosen to forget because sometimes drama queens get more attention. Well, the adults haven't forgotten, and we'd like to remind you. So please pay attention.

We'll keep reminding you, but try to retain this lesson at least for another week. If you don't, we'll be forced to give you a time-out or take away your Prius for a week.

Here, come sit next to me as I read the words of George W. Bush:
When we made the decision to go into Iraq, many intelligence agencies around the world judged that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction. This judgment was shared by the intelligence agencies of governments who did not support my decision to remove Saddam. And it is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong. As President, I'm responsible for the decision to go into Iraq -- and I'm also responsible for fixing what went wrong by reforming our intelligence capabilities. And we're doing just that. At the same time, we must remember that an investigation after the war by chief weapons inspector Charles Duelfer found that Saddam was using the U.N. oil-for-food program to influence countries and companies in an effort to undermine sanctions, with the intent of restarting his weapons programs once the sanctions collapsed and the world looked the other way. Given Saddam's history and the lessons of September the 11th, my decision to remove Saddam Hussein was the right decision. Saddam was a threat -- and the American people and the world is better off because he is no longer in power. (Applause.) We are in Iraq today because our goal has always been more than the removal of a brutal dictator; it is to leave a free and democratic Iraq in its place.
Read the rest of it, please.

Thank you, that is all.
Hugs,
