Ten years later: Where are they now? On 9/11, deputy secy. of defense, Paul Wolfowitz told Bush to invade Iraq cuz it was "doable." Now a "scholar" at the American Enterprise Inst. Undersecy of defense Doug Feith told Bush that Saddam was working with Al Qaeda. Now at the Center for National Security strategies. Richard Pearle doctored CIA and Pentagon Intel reports to make Iraq look like a threat. Now at 6 think tanks, including A.E.I. Columnist Thomas Friedman supported the invasion and occupation of Iraq for 3 years, but denies it now. Still a columnist at the New York Times. Secy. of State Colin Powell lied about Iraq's "WMDs" to the U.N. Now a statesman, often a possible candidate for prez. Hundreds of thousands-probably millions-of Iraqis were minding their business and living their lives. Which are over.

Well, you know, it’s OKAY if a Republican does it.

I was going to share this until I read the part about Colin Powell. He did NOT LIE! He was shown evidence by his staff that was convincing.

But the rightwing Christian warmongers are still at RaptureReady.com, never losing faith, steadfast in their hope that maybe the next war - the one in Iran - is the war foretold in Revelations.
Hurry up, God, they pray. The Rapture is the only cure for their obesity and ignorance.

The USA would go to war to bring any one of those in the first three frames to justice. The beasts of the Balkans had less blood on their hands than the key players in your 200-2008 administration. Because the USA has gone to war (or at least taken severe action) in the past, it has earned enormous respect throughout the world, and did the greatest deeds of the Twentieth Century.Because the USA is now not willing to pursue and prosecute people on its own soil who are wilfully responsible for incredible carnage and other heinous acts (I’m including your banks and financials), it is being sadly relegated to irrelevancy on the world stage. And that really saddens me.I’m not posting this to get gratification from kicking the Good Ol’ USA, I just want you guys to get it back on the moral rails again.We all need you.

My question is why are there so many Liberals always exposing their bleeding hearts on this web site with so few Conservatives around to challenge their hypocritical party line? I guess it’s because most Republicans are actually getting their news from NEWS site, and not a CARTOON site.
Actually, if that’s the case, it explains SOOOOOOOO much!

Isn’t it interesting that those who are very vocal regarding the blunders resulting in four deaths in Benghazi don’t have a problem with the blunders that resulted in 3000 Americans dying on one day. Especially when coupled with thousands more service personnel and tens (hundreds?) of thousands of Iraqis. Those who want to put Obama and Ms. Clinton in leg irons in the dungeon give Ms. Rice (National “Security” Advisor), Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney, Mr. Wolfowitz, and Mr. Rumsfeld a free pass.

Neither Bernard W or Ms Ima will ever respond to facts and reasoned arguments. That’s against the conservative way. They’ll post their rethuglican talking points of the week and disappear before logic and reality can infect their fractured worldview.
