If you go out and drive to your local 7-eleven tonight, and shoot the clerk in the face, you are a murderer.
If it turns out later that the clerk was a rapist, are you a hero?
No.
You are still a murderer.
But what if you went in there knowing full well that the clerk was a rapist? I think that is a bit closer to reality.

Now don't get me wrong, I do not honestly believe we give two shits about the Iraqi people, but I do believe that we knew Saddam was a horrid human being. And we wanted his oil. We did the right thing for the wrong reason, and that is not always so bad. However, I think what we are doing now in the post combat phase is where we are making our biggest mistakes.

As far as our integrity being tarnished... to whom is it tarnished? The french? Fuck france... those cheese eating pansies wouldn't know a thing about integrity. The last good living frenchman was Dugaul...
