Is there anyone left other than delusional neocons, Bush-admin propagandists and personality-disordered jingoists who could say we have planted a flowering democracy in Iraq rather than opened a can of virulent worms? Is there anyone left who could intelligently gainsay last week’s headline, “Iraq on edge of civil war … if nation isn't already in one”?

<snip>Is there anyone left who could dispute the semantic accuracy of saying bluntly that the Bush administration surpassed the realm of ineptitude and entered that of criminality three years ago? Is there anyone left, that is, who can dispute the memorandum evidence of Bush’s criminality as published by the Sunday Times of Britain? Can anyone deny the high crime behind Bush’s defying the memo’s conclusion that “self-defence” and “humanitarian intervention … could not be used” as legal justifications “in this case”? Is there anyone left who doesn’t still have those very justifications howled by Bush ringing in his ears?

<snip>Is there anyone left other than bereaved American families searching desperately for comfort who doesn’t know with nauseous certainty that our sons and daughters have died in vain? Is there anyone left who can deny that bereaved Iraqi families and tens of thousands of Iraqi innocents have borne the burden of political opportunism and lofty theory?

<snip>Is there anyone left on whom it hasn’t dawned that Bill Clinton, having been impeached for “collateral” sexual deception, would have been impeached, convicted, drawn and quartered by the same Republicans for conspiring to deceive Congress about an illegal war?

1. No sanity left in DC..

2. Such as, after 4 years the country will be so screwed up

that dubya will actually appear to be the savior? The scary thing is that he is that and more to his supporters. Which makes us out to be the lyin liberals who will stop at nothing to make him look bad. Lying is not necessary, he has brought it all on himself. Makes you wonder why he won't take credit for any of his wonderful schemes, doesn't it?

3. Iraq...

Has anyone here asked a friend, co-worker, family member, or just someone you're chatting with that only gets their info from listening to blips on the nightly news?

.."how many of our troops do you think have died in Iraq this month" I ask.. (this month, meaning "THIS" month -- May 2005)

I ask them all the time and I'm telling you.. I get such completely ridiculous off-target quesses!

.."Uh.. :think: .. I dunno... three?.. four?"

~~~~~~~ ((( :mad: )))

It's "out of sight, out of mind" to so many of them!

"No, actually you're way off. x( There have been 37 deaths in the first 17 days of May."

It was on this website (DU :grouphug: ) that someone shared the Iraq Coalition website a long time ago. I wish the media was as good as that site about reminding Americans that there ARE still troops losing their lives every----single-----day... http://icasualties.org/oif/ :(
