Letter: Bush did not properly plan

Thursday, Feb. 3, 2005 | 9:07 a.m.

I just read in your newspaper that President Bush is requesting more billions for war. That's a lot of nerve! The Iraq war should never have occurred. He just wanted to make a flashy bid for notice without first checking salient facts, such as where the proof was that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. He also failed to ask whether our troops were well prepared and adequately provided with proper equipment.

Instead of taking his responsibility seriously he prematurely declared victory. He got all dressed up for his Hollywood-style "Mission Accomplished" show. But he had not read the full script, and did not know what was coming -- that America would lose so many precious sons and daughters. The price for Iraq's oil was more than Americans would want to pay.

This is the worst president we have ever had in my lifetime, which began when the president was Herbert Hoover. Only uninformed people voted for his re-election.
