The US, on the other hand, ignored Iran's graciously extended olive branch and sympathy after 911, and thus missed a rare opportunity to bring Iran back into the international fold and reestablish a constructive dialogue. Instead, W hands them the 'Axis of Evil' label, basically a direct military threat, invades and occupies the country next door, and repeatedly threatens them with 'serious consequences' (which, in the case of Saddam, meant war). Now, with Iraq's desintegration, rather than engage Syria and Iran to create a constructive plan for the region (the advice of the Iraq steady group and everyone else outside the administration), W is sending a carrier battle group. Make no mistake, if WE were Iran, we'd be mobilizing as massively and rapidly as possible under the same circumstances.

 

The axis of evil talk was another blunder. There was an opportunity for skillful diplomacy. What we have instead is ham-fisted stumbling from one self-created crisis to another.

This conflict was not about oil. It was and will be about money.

 

Another winner not mentioned so often today: Haliburton

Bush never had a plan. Remember after 911 when he thought he was leading a Crusade? Like something out of a Monty Python movie. We are the knights that say NEE!

Bush never had a plan. Remember after 'the manhattan renovation project' when he thought he was leading a Crusade? !
