Which brings me to a contradiction... how can he jump from Al-Qaeda to Iraq as it were a comedy segway? shouldn't you complete one task before attempting another?
The WTC attack was a major fuckup on the part of the American government. Although caused by someone else, the level of security was so thin, that it would have never been upgraded if not for the attack on that treasured landmark.
Every time Bush tries to make the connection between the WTC and Iraq and terrorism, it makes my stomach churn. As if the only people that were lost were Americans... there is a reason why it was called "World Trade Centre".
It is so self centred to go to war on another country without the total support of your peers. This man is not fit to be president.
For George W Bush to dismiss the UN and not follow the rules before engaging in the act of war, would mean that there are a different set of rules for America... I hate to break it to you, but there aren't. America is just as responsible for their actions as is anyone else who wishes to sit at the global table.
Let's all hope this isn't the fuck up of the century.

The declaration of war on "terrorism" was general in nature and was not just a declaration of war on Al-Qaeda. There are a dozen or so well known terrorist organizations in existence and Iraq is a proven supporter of "terrorist" organizations in Palestine.
In addition it is incumbent upon any administration to protect the country from what it perceives to be an enemy, not the UN, and the UN charter allows for this.
