First, WMD: are you saying Iraq didn’t have WMD? . . .or are you just happy that the US is not quick to find them? We all know that when WMD is found, you anti-bush people will find at least 14 ways to claim it was planted. (. . .and what have you accomplished then?)
Second; the pump-houses that were destroyed (by Saddams guys --who’s the Hitler here?) exist in highly populated areas. (making them difficult to get to, for protection) Oil field, on the other hand, are out in the sand.
Furthermore, if more of the oil-field did get blown-up, you would be whining about the environmental damage of millions of gallons of oil smoking up the region. THEN you would be bytching about
the one US company who is capable of contain oil fires, to be “in” (tied to, in a big bad corporate way) with the Bush family.
BTW restoring water has been underway. Water truck have been actively bring water to needed areas from the start. Have you heard of
anyone dying due to the lack of water?
You guys on the left, spinniing reality so you can play the pity-card. . . .its not working for you, yet you guys continue to do it. . .hmmm.

Also, I have always claimed that military action in Iraq would not decrease islamic terrorism, but increase it. Now, how many Al Quaeda bombings have we had just recently
. . . It seems pretty clear to me that war does not eradicate terrorism.

Al Quaeda bombings
had been on the increase, up to 9/11. While wars cost both sides, Al Quaeda is loosing ground fast.
Terrorism will never be fully eradicated, BUT it can be made so costly that most those terrorists will decide to try to get along.
. . on the "the americans only good at bombing" thing; that is an "op-ed" piece, not news.
