We should put this writing in the "best writing" category

7. Right Wing Authoritarianism explains much of the "logic"

Right Wing Authoritarianism explains much of the "logic" that goes into just about every "justification" for the war. It also explains their theatrics in dancing around the subject, shifting goals, blaming others, and just plain ignoring the facts.

They are high-scoring RWAs and don't need no stinking logic.

8. Credit? How about war crimes trials!!!

She just laid out the case for the prosecution in a war crimes trial against those repugs. They lied and lied and lied,. they defied the world community, they invaded a non-belligerent country. Iraq never attacked America. America invaded Iraq,. twice(!) and bombed and occupied it for the last 20 years, and still does! 50,000+ troops is still an occupation. There is no such thing as the oxymoronic "non-combat troop".

The criminal murderers should be tried (and shot). 4000+ US troops, killed, countless maimed and mentally scared for life, over a million Iraqis killed, and their whole country decimated and poisoned for decades to come. Depleted uranium is just one of the legacies the Cheney/Bush repugs are taking credit for here,. they smirk at the trauma they have caused,. and the American people do not demand justice,. or even a trial?? And then they have the gaul to steal social programes to pay for it,. cut off benifits, and grab at socail security. Wars are what bankrupted America. Land of the free capital home of the sheeple.

9. That is the credit I seek

(though I don't believe anyone should be shot). I would be happy with a truth commission and real news organizations.

12. If there truly were a Liberal Media ....

She wouldn't be the lone voice saying all of this stuff. :-(

Watching these clips makes me once again realize why I voted for Obama and why I continue to support him. Bush was so very clearly over his head in everything -- I doubt he understood any policy position he had to speak on. A clumsy, ignorant buffoon, clutching at big words like a drunk clutching a bottle. Obama is so calm, so refined, so intelligent. He can clearly speak, in depth, on any policy issue. Even if you disagree with him, you know he at least understands what he's talking about. Bush's reign was one of chaos. I don't want to go back to that.

14. K&R

- Keep pouring out the truth Rachel. Whether people are prepared to listen or not.

"When a tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing to fear from them,
then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader. ~ Plato

15. IF that wasn't a grand slam home run,

I don't know what is...

[mmonk]

17. Yep.

Game over.
