The state of the union speach is small potatoes.
They still haven't found any weapons of mass destruction. That was all crap too it would appear.
America should have waited a bit longer and you could have had a lot of other countries on your side.
There was a Canadian proposal setting March 31 as a deadline. I think the US rolled into Iraq on March 17, but I could be out a few days.
I fail to see how waiting 2 weeks woud have made a bit of difference.
Further there was a Russian proposal and even a French proposal that gave Iraq a dead line of a couple more months.
In hind side, it was all irrelevant anyway. For one thing, there were no weapons of mass destruction, for another, the US never had any intention in the world to abide by any UN resolution. The UN thing merely gave the US time to mobilize.
Now, you have a quagmire to pay for. It isn't worth it really. I am glad Saddam is gone, but going it alone with essentially just the Brits was a bad move.
If Bush had any brains he would start to be more of a statesman and try to mend some international fences and at the same time hopefully get some cash and troops out of Russia, France, Germany, China, and yes, Canada.
None of the above are too willing to work with Bush at the moment however.
Bush has basically given the entire world, save Tony Blair the finger and the rest of the world is content to let him dig his own grave.
