"Many talk of the Bush administration not being "in touch" with reality. But who's [sic] reality? The one thing you must come to grips with in order to understand where we are headed is that the neocons place absouletly [sic] no value on [Iraqi] human life. Their goals involve power and maintaining that power. That hundreds of thousands (maybe even millions in the future) of innocent people have to die is literally of no concern or consequence to them. "Now ask yourself (assume their viewpoint for a second as disgusting as that is) is the US losing and will there be an attack on Iran? Finally, any blowback from such an attack will be used to justify their recent rhetoric. So exactly how do the neocons lose?" - - - SoccerDad
