WTF Is It Now?!?

Unca Karl! I wanna go out an' play with my soldiers NOW!!!!
'Pushed into war by liars and cheats'

'It was a rare moment of truth in the shabby charade which is plunging the world into war. Suddenly President Bush's mask slipped. The pretence that he is a great statesman and the saviour of international freedom was laid bare. He was revealed as a petulant little man, sick of having to wait before sending his massive forces into Iraq, his patience with pretending to listen to other nations totally exhausted.' - The Mirror.


Things to come
'The members of the Bush team don't seem bothered by the enormous ill will they have generated in the rest of the world. They seem to believe that other countries will change their minds once they see cheering Iraqis welcome our troops, or that our bombs will shock and awe the whole world (not just the Iraqis) or that what the world thinks doesn't matter. They're wrong on all counts.' - Paul Krugman.


'on the coat-tails of a US president who had won power in a grubby poll carve-up'
"What has come to trouble me over the past few weeks is the suspicion that if the hanging chads in Florida had gone the other way and Al Gore had been elected, we would not now be about to commit British troops to action in Iraq." - Robin Cook, in his resignation statement, link.

"The only option is the departure of the warmonger No. 1, in the world, the failing President Bush who made his country a joke in the world, who made his administration isolated in the world, who made the United States public enemy No. 1. He should depart from - he should go away from presidency, and let the Americans lead a normal life with other nations, not a life of aggression, a policy of aggression against other nations. This policy has brought disasters to the United States. So as for the United States to live properly with the world, and for the world nations to live in peace, this crazy man should go." - Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri.
