"Devil take the Hindmost!" LOL!

I agree with you Fox, during prior discussions here and elsewhere you've been treated loudly and often profanely to my opinion of the current state of the US Intelligence Community. We both know it ain't real high.

And, my opinion of the Federal Government, no matter which bunch of greedy idiots is in the WhiteHouse/Senate/House.

In my opinion if the Intel Agencies had been on the ball Sep 11 would have been just another ordinary day. The Agencies been gutted over the last 25 years, funding cuts, political pressure, the loss of the Professionals, it adds up to a major FUBAR sitch.

I reluctantly supported the Action in Iraq, and day by day have realized the information I had was deeply flawed at best.

I am still convinced it was the correct action to take. this is enough, along with some other reports I've seen along those lines.
Saddma's body count was high enough, only God knows how many, but it had to be more than 3 million between the wars and his own internal security forces slaughtering people like diseased livestok.
