[Yeah, I haven't written here in a while. Sorry.]10 years (and a few hours) ago Georgie started the invasion of Iraq. One could say he wasn't content to pass out large bags of money to wealthy people and decided to burn even more on a bonfire in the Middle East for reasons that were, at best, specious.
