Stone: "Bush has set us back 10 years."

[Lindacooks]

I WISH! Ten years ago the world was a better place. Ten years ago we had the respect of the world. Ten years ago the US economy was doing well, we had a well-educated, thoughtful, decent man in the White House. Bush has put us in a place the country has never been in history. We can't go far enough back to describe the hatred for this country that the chimp has caused.

'Filmmaker Oliver Stone blasted President George W. Bush Thursday, saying he has "set America back 10 years."

Stone added that he is "ashamed for my country" over the war in Iraq and the U.S. policies in response to the attacks of September 11.

"We have destroyed the world in the name of security," Stone told journalists at the San Sebastian International Film Festival prior to a screening of his latest movie, "World Trade Center." The film tells the true story of the survival and rescue of two policemen who were trapped in the rubble of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, after they went to help people escape.

"From September 12 on, the incident (the attacks) was politicized and it has polarized the entire world," said Stone. "It is a shame because it is a waste of energy to see that the entire world five years later is still convulsed in the grip of 9/11.'

"JFK" style. Indulge that conspiracy theorist we all love. Anyone ever see anything about a documentary Oliver was once trying to make about Yassir Arafat before he died?

I will vote straight dem now & in '08, but I plan to hold their feet to the fire. The dems better start working to revoke some of the absolutely awful legislation that has passed in the last 6 years. They can start with that piece of shit patriot act.
