Don't Ask Judy, She Don't Know...
People are starting to ask the right questions, finally. No, not the media, silly -- we mean actual people.

- To the Editor:
You write that "in the pell-mell race to Baghdad ... the generals in the field were overruled by directives from Washington, where military decisions were being made by men who were guided not by reality, but by their own beloved myths about what Iraq was like and how the war was going to be won."
One of those myths was that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction and was presumably crazy or evil enough to use them.
So my question is this:
Did the generals on the ground or the decision makers in Washington have any plan for what we would do if Saddam Hussein did in fact use W.M.D. against our onrushing troops?
Or did they know from the start that he didn't have such weapons?
If it's the former, one wonders what they considered to be acceptable losses to our brave men and women in uniform.
If it's the latter, then they willfully and deliberately led us into war under false pretenses, and history will judge them accordingly.

- ...it's time for knee-jerk supporters of the Bush administration to start to honest-up a bit, and consider the possibility -- believed here from the start -- that they took the U.S. to war in Iraq not because that country had weapons of mass destruction and ties to al Queda but because they KNEW IT DID NOT.
Get it? They went to Iraq not because it was a threat but because it was the EASIEST TARGET IN THE REGION.
The question all Americans should be asking is why? What were the reasons for invading Iraq that they couldn't tell Americans?
Why didn't they trust the public?
