Just about a year ago, I set forth three preconditions of approval for a war in Iraq:

Just before ‘old style’ war is declared/engaged, if the American Administration is interested in my full support, I’ll require:

1) A
convincing presentation of some of the evidence that the Administration
says it has ‘proving’ that Saddam still has the lethal weapons that
he’s used in the past but now disclaims ownership of.
2) A
general explanation of why insurgency and guerrilla warfare efforts
encouraged and supported by our Special Forces were and would remain
ineffective alone in toppling Saddam.  How much time, money, and effort
were spent?  In other words, did we really make a genuine effort to
avoid a conventional war by pursuing this alternative?
3) An
account of intelligence attempts to assassinate Saddam and why they
have failed.  How many attempts were made?  How many of Saddam’s
doppelgangers (doubles) were killed instead?  How many of ‘our’
assassins were compromised or lost their lives in these attempts?  In
other words, did we really make a genuine effort to avoid a
conventional war by pursuing this alternative?

Well, the Bush Presidency has failed on all three counts.  On the
contrary, the best-ever-handled President (with largely unseen
political handlers at the reins) has proven to be a ruthless expediter
of whatever and only what is politically advantageous to his
Party.   I hereby spit on his forehead and demand his
ouster.  

And that would just be Day 1 in the
'Ghostly White' House.
