Let's make a deal

It appears as though the Bush administration ignored last minute pleas from Saddam and his minions to avoid war. If the reports are true, then there is more proof that the President and his cabal of hawks were seriously hell bent on going to war, diplomacy be damned. The evidence all points to an unwavering decision to throw American soldiers into harm's way, no matter what: no weapons found and no last minute attempt to work out a deal. With the death toll rising and the flyboy hijinks aboard the Abe Lincoln (the banner should have read: We Want the Mission Accomplished") becoming fodder for all kinds of commentary, maybe someone should have told the See No Evil President to be careful what he wishes for.
