Does it concern anyone else?

The deposed despot leading Iraq warned us before we invaded that we would sink in a quagmire and do battle door to door before we might suceed in Iraq. The administration of this country told us that we were going to seize the evil Iraqis' weapons of m destruction and that there would be flowers thrown in the streets of Baghdad. They also told us that the "mission" was "accomplished." We were led to believe that Iraq was busy buying uranium and pursuing nuclear weapons. Why are third world tyrrants more forthright than our elected officials?
