Now I am finding it difficult to watch even C-Span.
I can't stand the ignorance of most of the callers. These folks actually believe that we were attacked by Iraq. Keep comparing Iraq with WWII. Do they even realize that the Iraq invasion was to start an elective war? Saddam had not even threatened to attack the US. He only promised to resist any invasion by the US...which the Iraqis are now doing at the cost of 1330 American lives. It is really heartbreaking to know that so many in this country can be so misled.

1. Some idiots actually say that Saddam/Iraq was involved in 9/11?
How...ugh. That's scary.

4. POS, Gen. Richard Myers
Just a few days ago when responding to the suicide bomber that killed 20 soldiers, Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff replied that these are the same insurgents and terrorists who attacked us on 9/11.

The lies of conflation and melding is constant and purposeful.

5. Yeah, we heard that!
Mrs. IconCat and I just about threw the TV out of the window. Where's my TV Brick when I need it?

6. Are there any journalists in America who will challenge the lies?
A better question, I guess, are there any journalists in America who will be given air time to challenge the lies?

7. History will not be kind to these people.
Even if we don't live to see it. I get the feeling that they will in time be very harshly judged.
