MITCH DANIELS - Key Quote: Mitch Daniels had said the war would be an “affordable endeavor” and rejected an estimate by the chief White House economic adviser that the war would cost between $100 billion and $200 billion as “very, very high.” [Christian Science Monitor, 1/10/06]

None of these people knew what they were talking about.
They have been a total disgrace to this country. But I
think we have been conditioned for 30 years now. That
the most stupid and inept people always rise to top
positions. All you have to do is look at our Corporate
CEOs.

Oh I think they knew exactly what they where talking about...Empire. Of course they could not admit it publicly so they lied and obfuscated, and lied some more.

When the decision process was being made who asked the people what they wanted our nation to do?
At the moment we realized we were being mislead why didn't we do anything about it? Why have we still not done anything about it? If the leaders are not leading us where we want to go why are we following?
