More importantly, I believe, Bush just wanted a war, even though Afghanistan was not his desired target. By the way, on the US National Public Radio show "Wait, Wait! Don't Tell Me," referring to the State Department's response to its bungling the case of the Christmas Day "underwear" bomber, the host said "if they'd had a spell-checker, in 2003 Bush would have invaded the country he wanted to." -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti." (Go your own way and let people talk.) -- Karl, paraphrasing Dante. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
