Must be because Bush has lost interest in being President, instead being content to stand in the shambles of his creation and legacy and praying for Obama to take over. Bush isn't known for having an attention span lasting more than a sentence and a half.

And taking advantage of the weakness of the US before the transition, Israel has shown more interest in obliterating Palestinians than obliterating Iran.

Or maybe Iran is simply a good citizen all at once.

Has no one noticed the ridiculousness of all that demonization, the silliness of losing lives when the next year we'll all be friends? I noticed a Columbia Sportswear high-tech, high-priced piece of raingear the other day "Made in Vietnam".

Now the Vietnamese won. We killed millions of them, they killed 58,000 of us. They are the same people as beat us. But now they are friends.

What a wasted war, wasted lives, wasted treasury. I mean, if they were bad then, they're bad now.

It's all silliness. Follow the dollars to see who won that war. And for them what happened on the battlefield was irrelevant unless it shortened the war. That would have been bad.
