Why do the bushbots stay silent and blind on the Iraq war?
They act as if isn't out there. Like it doesn't exist.

Weirdest war in our history. They offer no sacrifice and give no rationale. The bushbots just allow it to continue.

Is it because the volunteers are mainly from the poor and middle class, or the Iraqi victims are brown and Muslim?

The bushbots say nothing. W utters foolish words on better innocent Iraqis than American dead, and the bushbots remain shamefully silent.

Maybe they are more worried about losing their tax cuts or the Speaker of the House. Who knows.

Bushbots, just know, you will be remembered for the way you enabled W and it will go down in history as part of his legacy. You enabled this insanity. You rationalized it. You live with it.

Not in my name.

1. Even Colin Powell invoked the Pottery Barn rule on this
But the True Believers are absolved of any culpability by the Party-of-Personal-Responsibility-Unless-It's-Something-We-Did Official Reich-Sanctioned punditocracy.

2. Just remember, the majority of people in our country think
this admin has fucked up this war. Every poll I've seen supports that.
The *bots are about to be our friends.

3. Gulp... and with friends like these...
Well, you know how it goes. But I'll accept an idiot who agrees with me on something just as easily as I'll accept a smart person who disagrees.:hi:

7. They are *bots seeing the light.
Perhaps I'm being too partisan, but I can't imagine anyone thinking otherwise.
Yet I have a brother who 'loves' dimson. UGH! (BTW, we haven't talked in a long time, which is
sad also.)

8. We have to remember that Washington himself took what recruits
he could muster. Probably America's first instance of "you go to war with the army you have". Just pretend your brother fell into a coma 6 years ago, and pray for his swift return to full consciousness.

9. Hmmm. He's still sending negative
e-mails about "A-Rabs" to my sister who forwards them. I don't think he will ever wake up.
But I also salivate at the thought that he might!

11. He will. It may be a while
But the time will come. If we cease believing in the promised land, we just won't get there.

5. losing a war is the ultimate political sin, they are losing two and...
...are slapped in the face by the Iranian President at least three times a week.

Iran observing diastrous American military quagmires in Afghanistan and Iraq and understanding the vulnerability of American forces and the American regime in every respect, political, economic, social and military, contemptuously disregarded the buffoons in Washington and their stupid ultimata. The bushbots have repeatedly caved, they are isolated, and very, very vulnerable. The Iranians are confident of their ability to break the US as we know it, in a direct military/economic confrontation.

We can't even design an effective sanctions protocol because all of our so called allies (except israel) want to do business with Iran, now.

6. First and foremost, they have no soul....especially the ones who
pretend they're Christian. Bomb the hell out of people, awww, so what?

But most of all, the war doesn't affect them.

They're not losing money, so therefore, they're not losing any sleep about American bombs blowing arms and legs off of children -- and even American soldiers dying.

Bottom line.

It's revolting.
