What could have been W's true "ulterior motive"? Whatever it was he failed, thus aiding extremist jihadists. The article's headline "War's Arab Supporters Bitter Over Its Results" at
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/21/AR2007012101282_pf.html is self-explanatory.

Lebanese journalist Michael Young regarding a stunned Middle East stated "If they were scared of what was happening in Baghdad, there was more power in this moment than might have been expected. The regimes were truly scared of this moment, truly scared.
The problem is the Americans failed."

"It's a success story for al-Qaeda, a success story for autocratic Arab regimes that made democracy look ugly in their people's eyes. They can say to their people: 'Look at the democracy that the Americans want to bring to you.
Democracy is trouble. You may as well forget about what the Americans promise you. They promise you death,' "said Salameh Nematt, a Jordanian analyst and the former Washington bureau chief for the Arabic-language daily newspaper al Hayat."

PNAC was dismantled as "If the future and coming two to three years are negative, and what is sought after fails, the legacy will be a disaster, one of the first major disasters of the 21st century," said Shafeeq Ghabra, a political science professor at Kuwait University."

If bone-headed "bubble boy" had kept his troops in Afghanistan and attacking the terrorists who caused 9/11 then al-Zawahri wouldn't be able to send threatening tapes out. W's stupid "Bring em on" remark was thrown back at him as Al-Qaida's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri mocked President Bush's plan to send 21,000 more troops to Iraq, challenging him to send "the entire army" and vowing insurgents will defeat them, according to details from a new videotape released by a U.S. group that tracks terror messages.

Maybe W just wanted a second fiendish enemy in Iraq to continually attack to augment his role at the protector of the US. Rove must have convinced W that he needed someone other than bin laden--who W has never been able to capture, as a boogeyman, just for variety.

Senator Biden has also recently pointed out that W's true goal in the surge is to keep the Iraq atrocity going until W's term is over.

Whatever the reason for the Iraq War was-"whatever Congress voted for", W has failed. In his speeches, including his state of the union addresses, W is always lying about Iraq and we likely heard some whoppers in his most recent one, but we won't know what they are until the lies become apparent. The "whatever you voted for, you did not vote for failure," statement certainly is in the English language, but it is emblematic of W's misuse of words to convey indecipherable sound-bytes, which he which he mislabels as policies. Such an evil maneuver destroys the role of the Congress' ability to provide checks and balances against W's insane executive branch of the US government, thus ruining the functioning of the US Democracy.

As a consequence of lying about the pre-war Iraq intelligence, and all of the lies subsequent to that huge hypocrisy, W has failed the Democracies of both the US and Middle East.

Winston is an ex-Social Worker, burnt out by too much indifference regarding our weak and weary. I had little interest in politics until the illegal Iraq War started.
