There is piles and loads of albeit circumstantial evidence that Bush was itching for an excuse to take on Iraq, not the least of which is the fact that the torture didn't start until a solid reason to invade wasn't presenting itself otherwise. Will we ever know for 100% certain? Not unless we're going to prosecute which I'm all for, but otherwise probably not. As to Obama, he really isn't pursuing any major military policy changes over what Bush was doing and he's using Bush's last SecDef to boot. Now obviously I've been very critical of Bush and he deserves it, but I don't think the Bush administration's policies reflected Bush himself until the very end. I think in the last 2 years of his Presidency he realized how wrong Cheney was on everything and that Cheney is most probably mentally ill. Cheney's recent rumblings, in my opinion, are more about attacking Bush than Obama because, as I said, Obama really isn't doing anything different than Bush; he's more communicative and his attitude is different, but functionally he's the same. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
