At that time, his visit wasn't announced until after he left. This time, his arrival was reported after he touched down in Baghdad's Green Zone. <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0" target="_blank">http://www.foxnews.com/story/0</a>,2933,199252,00.html

I hope Bush is on the losing end of an IED. -- But Coulter is the one we need to be upset with. Right.

You know these same people are " outraged " by Coulters book. It's why we beat these people with such eash and America calls them traitors.

Saddam was never the threat conservatives made him out to be, and now that we've deposed him it's patently obvious to everybody. What the iraq war HAS done is to turn iraq into a terrorist haven, which it wasn't before. So go easy on the chest-thumping about saddam, defeating him wasn't all that hard to do.

Originally Posted By DouglasDubh <This war hasn't defeated al qaeda, hasn't made us any safer, hasn't established a democracy in iraq, hasn't improved the oil supply.> Maybe not yet, but those things are coming. <Saddam was never the threat conservatives made him out to be, and now that we've deposed him it's patently obvious to everybody.> He was certainly a threat, however. I remember many liberals calling him one as well. <What the iraq war HAS done is to turn iraq into a terrorist haven, which it wasn't before.> Um, yes it was.

I think what we need to do is convince people who live in the lands they live in to build the nations. Maybe I'm missing something here. I mean, we're going to have a kind of nation-building corps from America? Absolutely not." George W. Bush Oct. 11, 2000
