After yesterday's presidential news conference, I am beginning to wonder if George W. Bush knows why we went to war with Iraq. He should just come clean and admit that we went to war because Dick, Wolfie, and Rummy told him to.

Three years into the war and the President still can't answer the question of why we went to war in the first place. It is perfectly clear now why he can't meet with Cindy Sheehan. Imagine him saying to Cindy, "after September 11th, we realized killers could destroy innocent life." Hmmmm, we have a president who didn't know that prior to 9/11?

3. when Helen Thomas asked that question

my first reaction was - that's Cindy's question!

Not Cindy's words - What is the noble cause that cost my son his life? but it is the question she wants answered. There it was - he can't answer it because he can't say 'to make my major contributors richer'; 'to secure and control the oil fields'. Watching the re-play, on 'mute' on CSPAN later that night, I was struck by how fidgety he was; shifting his weight; stepping back; leaning on the podium; gesturing wildly - he was a caged animal and scared. I'm surprised his sweaty body didn't short out the transmitter.
