An Unbelievable 'Told You So'

RECEIVED Mon., Dec. 19, 2005

Well, well, well,
    Saw Bush so pleased with himself about the election in Iraq (like he was saying, "See, told you so").
    Well, what he told us, so that he could send our children to war, was that Iraq and Saddam were going to wipe us off the face of the earth with their WMD. He never said we are going to send your children to die so that the Iraqis can vote. Why do our children have to die so that the Iraqis can vote?
    Gee – if the Iraqis wanted to vote that bad, why didn't millions of them (the millions who voted yesterday) rise up and take out Saddam themselves?
    Isn't everyone just completely sick at heart that our young men and women have died so that citizens of another country can vote (especially ironic since most Americans don't give a whit about voting themselves).
    Just downright unbelievable.
