'Why We Did It' The Iraq War
 

by Rhodes scholar Rachel Maddow. I'll have to watch this one, it's being recorded here tonight.

Keep us informed.

I'm recording it as well. I hope she can do it as straightforward documentary and not in her typical snarky, preachy tone.

Is she going to interview Dick Cheney?

I don't think so, but I think she has a few higher-ups, including Anthony Zinni.

I'll tell you the real reason.

It amounted to the Bush Family wanting some Junior High School payback against Saddam Hussain because Saddamn went out on his balcony and fired his rifle in celebration of Daddy Bush's re-election defeat effectively saying "I'm still President of my country and you're not, neener, neener."

This insult infuriated the Bush's and was the primary motivation for both George and Jeb (it was supposed to be Jeb) to go after the Presidency in order to get payback.

Everything else was just window dressing. The real reason was "Payback".

I admit to liking snarky.

It's, also, why I adore Keith Olbermann.

Oh so it's not a documentary but an opinion piece.

My belief is that it was a long time goal of Dick Cheney to target Iraq that went back to the Gulf War days....

its a totally subjective belief that goes back to a citation credited to him in a military requirements manual that was written before 9-11 that had I to complete in the Navy shortly after the 2003 war had began. The author was mentioning the projection of sea power and had mentioned how Iraq should be contained....then the bookmark showed a reference to something Cheney had wrote.

Military Reqirements of 1C and Chief......Dave knows what I am referring to.
