Bush may have started WW III per retired Delta force member...
Q: What's your assessment of the war in Iraq?

A: Utter debacle. But it had to be from the very first. The reasons were wrong. The reasons of this administration for taking this nation to war were not what they stated. (Army Gen.) Tommy Franks was brow-beaten and ... pursued warfare that he knew strategically was wrong in the long term. That's why he retired immediately afterward. His own staff could tell him what was going to happen afterward.

We have fomented civil war in Iraq. We have probably fomented internecine war in the Muslim world between the Shias and the Sunnis, and I think Bush may well have started the third world war, all for their own personal policies.

4. What is the cost to our country?
Q: What is the cost to our country?

A: For the first thing, our credibility is utterly zero. So we destroyed whatever credibility we had. ... And I say "we," because the American public went along with this. They voted for a second Bush administration out of fear, so fear is what they're going to have from now on.

Our military is completely consumed, so were there a real threat - thankfully, there is no real threat to the U.S. in the world, but were there one, we couldn't confront it. Right now, that may not be a bad thing, because that keeps Bush from trying something with Iran or with Venezuela.

5. Interesting.

The rest of the world should know that Bush in fact has made the US very unstable. We are the 900-pound Gorilla in the Living Room, so like it or not, we are the Sole Hegemon in world affairs.

Until now, that is.

Bush has weakened the US with his disastrous policies. We are now bankrupt, and we simply cannot fight another war right now. This has emboldened other countries to taunt Bush, to insult and tease him, (not that that bothers me!) and insult the US's strength.

About 1 month ago, Ahmadinejad said "The US is a hollow superpower". So they all know it. It's only a matter of time before the Giant, swaying back and forth, keels over. A few more hurricanes like katrina, and we're done for.

The problem is, what comes next? That's the scary part. I believe mosst countries realize the US is fading. They're scrambling for a position in the NEW ORDER which is on the way.
