"Garry Trudeau is the premier American social and political satirist of his time." -Newsweek Doonesbury has managed to be articulate, abrasive, political, compassionate, misunderstood, misprinted, and outrageous - but one thing it's never been is complacent. Garry Trudeau's creation has chronicled American history and culture in a parallel universe. And through it all, Doonesbury has always been honest, entertaining, and thought-provoking.

• “… I was compelled to do my due … research thoroughly this issue.”
And yet you shared exactly none of it with us. There has to be a reason for that. And it’s probably the case that you have NO EVIDENCE to back up your statement.
• “… GW did not “LIE”"
Yeah, he did. And Condoleeza. And Powell (who long after “called the run-up to the Iraq invasion ‘a blot’ on his distinguished career”). http://theweek.com/article/index/232744/kofi-annans-memoir-did-colin-powell-doubt-his-own-wmd-claims
Powell: “[A] blot, a failure will always be attached to me.” http://blogs.rep-am.com/worth_reading/2012/11/16/super-dupes/
• “The statements from various sources that I read indicate that ….”
• Again, you chose to withhold them and their sources from us. Thus, again, you’re doing nothing more than just blah blah blah-ing.
• “Iraq was engaged in a rapid buildup of their military to pre first Gulf War status.”
Right, the FIRST Gulf war! Which has never been an issue here. The biological and chemical weapons that So-Damn-Insane used against his own people and against Iran, WE gave to him.
• “… no one in the in the intelligence community considered Iraq to be more than a second (at best) or third tier threat to US security.”
What, no “shock and awe” necessary after all?
• “… there was no lie as much as a rush to war ….”
There were both lies and rushing tactics, and both in abundance.
• “… Saddam Hussein was indeed a threat to stability in the region that needed to be removed.”
Iran was seeing to that puny, so-called “threat” was neutralized in the region. So was the UN, complete with monitors. The U.S. war machine doesn’t need to “do windows”.
• “The myth that GW had lied to the American people …”
The myth is that he didn’t lie (and bully patriotic Americans). So yet again, you’re doing nothing more than perpetuating that myth.
• “I hope this can end the entire debate on that issue ….”
UR also a comedian 2IC.

You know, the interesting thing (to me, at least) is that Colin Powell STILL has pretty high credibility, because it now seems that the Bushies were lying to him, too, to get him to be the front man for their dirty work.

@Richard S. Russell
Good insight, Richard. But I think Powell’s current high cred has to do with the fact that Americans are forgiving of a person they see as truly repentant.
Have you noticed any improvement in Bush’s abysmal approval rating?

Rove, Bush, Chaney – it is impossible to rehabilitate images of men with no conscience.

It’s certainly true that Cheney has no heart.

The biggest foreign policy blunder in American history was allying ourselves with the Soviet Union in WWII. Hitler, Stalin, Hitler, Stalin…the only difference was that Stalin had the better mustache.

“Because of Powell’s enormous credibility…”
Say what?

Send cheney/shrub/rumsfeld to the world court to be tried for their war crimes. While we’re at it, haul the thieves of wall street into federal court to be tried for their financial crimes.
Also, free Bradly Manning.

“The biggest foreign policy blunder in American history was allying ourselves with the Soviet Union in WWII.”
The U.S. and Great Britain together took 863 thousand military deaths. The Soviets took over 10 million. If we had fought Hitler without them we could have taken our 863,000 + their 10,000,000 = 10,863,000 dead. And lost the war!

Yes, Powell is credible because he admitted his mistake several times and then moved on. Although a Republican, he even supported Barack Obama in both elections. He supported him because he was superior to what the GOP had to offer, as he also explained.
