Invading Iraq was the BEST-EST decision EVER!


Now that we've done it, it was clearly the right choice. THAT, sir, is a scientific FACT! Why, even monkeys and 4 year olds would agree with you.

Dick Cheney in Baghdad to celebrate the the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq is STILL talking about the still missing WMD!

Self-delusion, the result of what???s called cognitive dissonance, has been demonstrated over and over by researchers who have come up with increasingly elaborate explanations for it. Psychologists have suggested we hone our skills of rationalization in order to impress others, reaffirm our moral integrity and protect our self-concept and feeling of self-worth.

Researchers at Yale now report finding the first evidence of cognitive dissonance in monkeys and in a group in some ways even less sophisticated, 4-year-old humans.

Yup. Once a decision has been made like invading Iraq, second-guessing may just interfere with more important business - like planning the invasion of Iran!

8 months remaining for the next argument...

That's because you are a 4 year old speaking out.

Also you lack sufficient "evidence", once again proving the undeveloped frontal lobe of the 4 year old known as Hadrain (a terrorist name on the black list).
