It's time to name names and Robert Parry just did it. This is remarkable in the extreme.
Parry has upset the apple cart by telling the truth . Amazing!

When a Great Power Goes Mad

without the approval of the U.N. Security Council and under false pretenses, the Bush
administration released upon the Iraqi people “the accumulated evil of the whole” – and
committed the "supreme" war crime.

An obvious reason why the mainstream U.S. press can’t handle this truth is that to do so would mean that President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, a host of other U.S. officials and even some prominent journalists could be regarded as war criminals.

To accept that reality would, in turn, create a moral imperative to take action. And that would
require a great disruption in the existing U.S. power structure, which hasn’t changed much since Bush
won authorization from Congress in October 2002 to use force and then invaded Iraq in March 2003.

Not only are Bush and Cheney still in office – and two of the three remaining presidential candidates,
John McCain and Hillary Clinton, voted for the war – but the roster of top Washington journalists
remains remarkably intact from five years ago.

Iraq War hawk Fred Hiatt still runs the Washington Post’s editorial pages where you can still read the
likes of Charles Krauthammer, David Ignatius, Richard Cohen and a bunch of other columnists who
pushed for the war.

The same is true for the New York Times’s op-ed page, where writers like Thomas Friedman have
prospered despite their erroneous war judgments and where one of the few changes has been to recruit
prominent neoconservative William Kristol, who has used his column to chide Americans who won’t hail
Bush’s courageous war leadership

7. The evil that men do cannot be exposed for all to see.

As you have portrayed, too much actual justice would need to be exacted, or, we would all have to admit to the corpro-fascism ruling this country and say we were fine with it.

K & R

8. Kicking.

I'm glad this one names names. It's about time some of these people started being called out in public for their collaboration. They all share one overriding name: Neville Chamberlain.

Good on Robert Parry! These bastards need all the public humiliation that can be heaped upon them.

9. bush's war

k&r I could only watch part one of bush's war for the reasons Mr.Perry articulated so well.Sadly,these criminals will get off scott-free simply because Americans are too full of themselves to ever admit we may be wrong.

Every last one of these assholes need to be held accountable for enabling an illegal war and crimes against humanity!

[Kurovski]

14. Kick.

"Why in a media environment with 24-hour cable news programming has intelligent dissent against U.S. foreign policy been so marginalized and excluded?"

In one of the debates, John Edwards said " when the status quo is questioned, they attack every time."

I wonder if Obama can break through all this in some way? I wonder if he wants to?

15. Many in the Mighty Wurlitzer are destined for Leavenworth.

They have been complicit with the criminal "administration."

Indict. Try. Convict. Imprison. Them ALL.

18. War criminals.

I've regularly emailed Pelosi, Reid, English (PA -3), et al, warning them that they are complicit in the crimes of this administration if they do not act to restore our Constitution and impeach, indict and imprison these bastards.

Guess I need to send similar emails to the 'media'.

And we will always remember their lack of action. Enough is enough.

Good find! :hi:

19. Isn't that something.

I've thought that myself, but then that's just me, I said (in my inner dialog, not out loud, well not out loud too often;)

21. I think that may have been what set-off the mail

problem I had for awhile a couple years ago.

My folks always said that my mouth would get me in trouble.:evilgrin:

China and Russia decide we need regime change!:scared:

24. us, if we find our backbones, sorry to be so blunt, but it is up to us.
