(1,180 posts)Republicans that GWB owes this Country an apology for pissing away $4 Trillion and lying to get us into war. He should be kissing BO's shoes for not charging him and Cheney for war crimes and throwing his ass in jail, where it belongs.

Flip channel to Fox.... McCain again. Of course Hannity nodded in acceptance as everyone (Ollie North and some former Colonel guy) based their whole discussion on our "Win".

(2,969 posts)Scholarly work on Nazism and the nature of human evil finds that one of the most signal characteristics is the total psychological inability to accept being wrong about anything. They will go to insane lengths to shift blame. They're sort of people who would beat their child to death and get angry in court that the kid made them do it. As if we lacked evidence that Republicans are exactly that, and will drag this country as far into nightmare as they're allowed.

(2,969 posts)Positivity and moving forward are all well and good, and I can easily imagine circumstances where it would be impractical to make a move on those bastards, but he needed to have just stood up and said openly why. "Look, these people control the media and a huge swath of the economy, and unless you want them pushing the suicide-bomber-vest button on another five million jobs and staging terrorist attacks all over America, we can't prosecute their beloved former dictator. At least not yet."
However, there's no excuse for not at least pursuing a T&R Commission.

Now we have ISIS (thank you, Dick Cheney). Who are these guys, and why?

(14,604 posts)What gains?
All we did was keep profits up for Halliburton.
WHY aren't Cheney, Rumsfeld and W. being tried for war crimes? They and their neo-con ilk have nearly destroyed this nation with their warmongering, privatization, deregulation and cut, cut, cuts.
When I think of what this nation COULD BE, and then see what these people have made it with our acquiescence, it makes me want to puke.

Savvy, you RW assholes!

Republicans can lie their asses off but the facts are clear. We invaded a sovereign nation who was NO threat to this country. We killed a million people we ripped off natural resource.

I'm not aware of any more heinous act of treason in all the history of this country. Benedict Arnold was a common opportunist in comparison.

(22,666 posts)...If we wanna talk about SQUANDERING, let's talk about that $236B surplus GWB SQUANDERED IN IRAQ + tax breaks for the rich. And that profiteering gig for the MIC in Iraq gained the rest of us exactly NOTHING. We took the budget surplus and GAVE it to them and the rest of the rich folks and we got NOTHING but record debt. Same thing we usually get with Tealiban is in power: slammed into record debt for the exclusive benefit of the rich and big corporations.
Excuse me but f*ck you, Republicans. With a cactus.
