Yeah .. but do you know?

Does it matter if you, I or sandigga knows? That's what the Feds are elected and hired to do. Hell it's the cornerstone of our constitution.

And as far as the Gulf War, it was not a PR driven war, it was a war due to the fact the Iraq invaded another country. That sight was lost, once everyone jumped on the oil bandwagon.

yeah i do.. but thats not the point...
its not our job to know.. our job is to hire the people who with the right knowledge will do what they expect that we want them to do.... the point is that Bush was elected by the people, us.. the people in congress are our representatives... they were hired and elected by us... we entrusted them into office to make these decisions for us with the the knowledge and privileges of having this kind of information that can't be shared with another 280 million people for safety reasons..... why entrust them? because they have adequately shown that they have the best interest of the country at hand....
what im saying is that every citizen in the world does not have to know what the administration knows to support the administration's decisions...
