A War Still in Search of a Rationale It is more than six months since the invasion of Iraq, and it remains a war in search of a rationale.
How $87 Billion Could Buy Some Real Security President Bush's request for $87 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will do nothing for America's security. Both of those wars have already been lost, and no amount of money will change their outcomes. A Second Generation military cannot win Fourth Generation wars, regardless of the resources deployed.
Weapons and the war
CIA admits it can't find weapons
The totality of the lies
The Other Lies of George Bush George W. Bush is a liar. He has lied large and small, directly and by omission. His Iraq lies have loomed largest. In the run-up to the invasion, Bush based his case for war on a variety of unfounded claims that extended far beyond his controversial uranium-from-Niger assertion. He maintained that Saddam Hussein possessed "a massive stockpile" of unconventional weapons and was directly "dealing" with Al Qaeda--two suppositions unsupported then (or now) by the available evidence.

Time to confront the monopoly myth about good and evil 'Terrorism groups may actually be sustained when... governments cross the line and commit outrages themselves." Wise words from Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who provided a sobering and timely circuit-breaker to the UN General Assembly regarding the spiralling "war on terror".

American Psycho No, I did not read the book, but what words more perfectly describe George Bush making one of the oddest speeches ever made at the UN?
