In case you check back, yes, he supported the war for the reasons that neo-cons do. He believed that the Bushites would create a democracy in Iraq and that we would get lots of oil and that Israel would be protected by some moderation in the mideast. They believe what they believe. BushBoy will forever believe he had balls enough (more certainly than his father — don’t know about his mother) to take on Saddam. He will never, ever, understand the damage he has done. He is just that stupid, narcissistic and dangerous. I didn’t vote for him, but enough americans did. Such a shame.</p> RevDeb, i’ve been down — I guess the whole site was?
