*** I care what he has to say. ***

Why? Because he may, in another insane rant, make some ridiculous claim about Bush or his administration? Do you actually believe ANYTHING he says would be credible? Of course you do. See below.

*** He was one time friendly with Rumsfeld. ***

So what? Roosevelt was "friendly" with Stalin who in turn was friendly with Hitler. If you remember, at the time we were having some issues with Iran who were also having some issues with Iraq. Trying to become "friendly" with the enemy of your enemy seems logical to me. The fact that our new "friend" (Iraq) began to do things to ruin this new "friendship" does not mean we should continue the "friendship" does it? Would that make you happy? How can ANYONE know how someone will behave 10 - 20 years in the future?

*** I'll bet he has a lot to say and knows more than the average American about the truth of what we are doing in the middle east.  ***

It sounds to me like you're saying you'd believe the word of Saddam before you'd believe anyone in the Bush administration. I would expect nothing less from someone who also believes there's a more sinister element to the collapse of the WTC.
