The most interesting item is the one dated 17 March 2003.

"17 March 2003 United States President George W. Bush gave Saddam Hussein an ultimatum. Either Saddam Hussein and his sons leave Iraq within 48 hours or the United States will pursue military action against Iraq"

WTF? We can just order a leader of a sovern nation to leave his own country or we are going to invade? Maybe some nation ought to tell the Bushcos the same thing.

1. Thanks for the link

I knew more about ancient history of the region than of modern history. Helped me to get a perspective. As for March 17-sounded to me like Bush had watched too many bad John Wayne movies.

That's why Casey and 1,850 others like him have died -- 'cuz Saddam didn't leave when he was told!

4. Just one question about Bushy's May1st 2003 Speech

"Has any reporter in the year 2005, question Bushy directly about his May 1st 2003 speech?"


1 May 2003 President George W. Bush announced that the conflict with Iraq was over. The country was occupied by U.S. and British soldiers. Retired U.S. General Jay Garner served as the interim leader until Iraq could form a democratic form of government.
