We're All Neocons to This Day

[George_Bailey]

Remember back in the good ole halcyon days when the whole world, including Iraq, was our oyster and America, to paraphrase Chuck Krauthammer, bestrode the world like a colossus arrogantly dangling its unilateral genitalia over that oyster of a world?

Judith Miller notwithstanding, the American mainstream media, while it didn't exactly lie us into Iraq, nonetheless acted like a gigantic cheerleading squad repeating everything ever uttered by Bush, Cheney, Powell, Rice, Rumsfeld, Ari Fleischer and Scott McClellan as if they were the fifth gospel of Jesus fucking Christ. "Gimme a Dubya!" "W!" "Gimme an A!" "A!" "Gimme an R!" "R!" "What's that spell?" "P-E-A-C-E!"

Note that all these pronouncements of early victory came before George W. Bush's famous goony bird landing on the USS Abraham Lincoln on May 1, 2003 to announce the end of major military operations in Iraq. Note, also, that not all of these blowhards are of the odious ilk of Krauthammer, Judith Miller or Bill O'Reilly and the other fortune cookie prognosticators at Fox "News" but the "liberal" NY Times, the LA Times, NPR and Fox's token liberal, Alan Colmes...
