Wow Kerry took the Florida primary!

[Professor Frink]

afterthought: It's a scary world when George Bush Sr. seems like an elder statesman of mythical proportion and oracular foresight.

Indeed, it is. Good thing that here in the real world he's an incompetent one-termer that snuck in on Regan's coattails and got booted after managing to screw up the first Iraq war.

It's not that surprising that George Bush Sr.'s legacy-polishing version of the events conveniently dismisses the massive post-war rebellion against Saddam that he could have protected with a little air support; when the US turned its back on them they were mercilessly slaughtered by the Iraqi forces recently freed up from fighting the retreating American forces.

It's a little sickening to see him badmouthing the people whose blood is all over his hands, though. "President Bush repeatedly declared that the fate of Saddam Hussein was up to the Iraqi people", but he wouldn't lift a finger to help them when their preference was clear.

Is it all that surprising that modern Iraqis are concerned about been seen as cooperating with the US? Who knows, we might abandon them again.
