Re: The \'Abu Earless\' Brigade
"And some people are still against the war because we bombed too many civic administration offices or for other relatively minor reasons."
I assume you're referring to something I wrote, which I think you're misrepresenting. You are confusing two separate issues:
1. I am against the war.
2. I have problems with how the war was conducted.
I was not against the war because civil administration buildings were bombed, I was against the war AND I objected to the needless bombing of civil administration buildings. Finally, I was pointing out, in support of something someone else posted, that the only major ministry to be untouched by both bombing and looting (and indeed the only one to be guarded by coalition forces in the early days of Baghdad's fall) was the Oil Ministry, which I think showed the real priorities of the coalition.
