Gosh how time flies when you're having fun...

From March 2003:

Iraqis can hear me tonight in a translated radio broadcast, and I have a message for them: If we must begin a military campaign, it will be directed against the lawless men who rule your country and not against you. As our coalition takes away their power, we will deliver the food and medicine you need. We will tear down the apparatus of terror and we will help you to build a new Iraq that is prosperous and free. In free Iraq there will be no more wars of aggression against your neighbors, no more poison factories, no more executions of dissidents, no more torture chambers and rape rooms.

If we MUST begin a military campaign? If we MUST?

How is that food, medicine and prosperity working out?

And torture and rape--well, just put out the "Under New Management" sign.

All the more comforting when this meglomaniac says this last week:

And, tonight, let me speak directly to the citizens of Iran: America respects you and we respect your country. We respect your right to choose your own future and win your own freedom. And our nation hopes one day to be the closest of friends with a free and democratic Iran.

With friends like us, who needs enemies???
