It came as no shock to me what Bush and Cheney pulled. I watched it happen. What amazes me is that a Republican is now speaking up and all the uproar. But it may accomplish one thing, and that is that the media may be forced to re-examine it's role. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/may2008/bush-m30.shtml And I really enjoyed this bit in the article: The answer is we need the kind of president who would ask the right questions before voting to spend this countries capital both economic and human on a manufactured threat. And this one: What kind of leadership is that, that it shirks it's duty in order to protect it's personal adgenda and worries about how they can maintain their presence/majority rather than actually about how well they perform their duties. We have a two party system made up entirely of elitist slackers.
The media is hyping this up and acting like it's a big surprise. I mean, no shit they lied. This is old news. The media is spinning it to cast the image of disgruntled former employee on McClellan, to neutralize the heart of the matter: that the American people were fed a load of bullshit.
And we were sold that bullshit by all of them, the media, congress both sides of the aisle, even our ministers sold us a line of bull during that time. And the disgruntled crap about McClellan I buy that as much as I ever bought into the WMD and Al Qaeda crap. I thought he resigned, wasn't that the line of crap we were fed when he stepped down, now they want us to believe he was fired? Who to believe? What I saw in his interview on the Today show was a disappointed Republican, who found out first hand what sort deviants got elected to the White House.
Tony Blair looked a real shite on the Today Show this morning. This is rich all these world leaders pleading that they acted with the best intentions. What were all these smart dudes duped?
Heres the deal,no matter what 'book' has been published.Regardless of how Bush and Cheney have been publically criticized and the plain fact that at least 80 percent of America hates their guts.Those 2 are still in office.They have not and probably will not be held accountable for anything.I blame the stupidity and weakness of alot of the American people.It makes me think that almost 'anything' can get elected as President in the US now,and that is scary.
I'm so glad that McClellan published this book and we now have a definite, reliable source telling us that everyone lied to bring us into war, a war without an enemy, a purpose, or any positive outcome. The sad thing is, no one in the Bush Admin. will ever be impeached, and will never be held responsible.
What's deplorable is that our congress was complicit in the lies. No one that held office during that period and voted for that war should ever be elected or re-elected to any public office. I don't care how experienced they are, or that their motives were well intentioned. They are entrusted with the protection of our government and way of life and they failed to perform. They failed in their oversight, they failed to verify facts. Their focus should have been on their responsibilities of office not re-election manuevering.
