That's why people are upset; those in the know are even more upset.

I worked on a "Post Reconstruction Database" that would have served as a =

blueprint for what to do after the war.
The Bush Admin. told us point-blank to stuff it. Did not want to hear =

it, did not want hear about it.

THE CURRENT SITUATION IN IRAQ IS CONSCIOUSLY, WITH DELIBERATE =

FORETHOUGHT, COMPLETELY SELF-INFLICTED.
